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.
