During the rainy season on Kabutoyama, I went trail running for training and kept running into all kinds of strange mushrooms, so here they are!
I headed to Kabutoyama during a break in the rain.
A beautiful round shape. But somehow a little eerie.
Mushrooms come in so many shapes, they’re fun to look at♪
From the side, it looks mysterious and really beautiful!
A textbook mushroom shape!
The two mushrooms above were growing very close to each other♪
There were also tons of tiny mushrooms all around this area.
Found a huge mushroom about the size of a fist!
I was surprised when I looked at it from the side!
It has frills and looks so stylish!
It’s like it’s wearing a skirt!!
Quiz: where is the “skirt mushroom”?＾＾
After walking a little farther, I found a mushroom that looked like nameko.
It looks delicious, but dangerous!（Don’t eat it!）
Found a mushroom that looked like a mutant version of nameko!
Its appearance is seriously striking!!
It was about the size of a button mushroom.
A white mushroom and a black mushroom growing side by side.
They both look intense! I’m really curious what kinds of mushrooms they are.
Up close, the mushroom looks even more ominous.
I came out at what seemed to be the exit of the mountain trail.
It comes out around the side of Kanno-ji Temple.
After that, I crossed Kitayama Reservoir and headed down the Osawa Nishinomiya Line to descend the mountain♪
Finally
The Jizo statue on the side road just north of Kanno-ji Temple↑
Its hat was a cute mushroom shape.
