I had never previously seen mushrooms with such spectacularly shiny, exquisitely coloured tops.
If you zoom in on/enlarge them, you should be able to enjoy some Dali-esque, distorted reflections of the old-growth stringybark forest’s canopy.
I have no idea of what is the “hero” mushroom’s species (nor of what kind are these images’ other, much smaller ‘shrooms) but I think its were the most visually arresting of any of the fruiting bodies we saw during our very easy forest walk.
