We all know how important fungi are on our planet Earth. Basically, they have the main role in the decomposing phase of all terrestrial ecosystems. Even if you don't see them, they are all around, doing their job, to perfection. Nothing can stop them. None of us. Just think, don't we encounter fungus on the forgotten piece of cheese in the freeze? Don't we find them in the walls of dark rooms, where the humidity is high? Don't we even consume them as yeasts through bread or beer? They are all around, so we can call ourselves lucky ones when Friday comes and we want to find some nice mushrooms and bring them to the #FungiFriday event. Nothing easier! You can find them everywhere, BUT, I will now bring some places where you should NOT try to search for them. This is where I was searching for them this morning, well almost noon, and so much sun and warmth accompanied me. However, it was worth taking this route by my bike, to make this list, all just to help you what places you should avoid. Everywhere else, out of my list is a good-to-go spot.
Ok, so let's start.
Harbour
The harbour was so calm today, the fishing boats have already returned a while ago, and the fish has been distributed among the small local fishmongers. Only a few people remained, who came to enjoy their small boats because the weekend is coming. Blue sky, calm sea, everything is perfect, but you know what? You won't find mushrooms there. I tried. Just boats swinging peacefully on very gentle waves. If you can, skip this place in your mushroom hunt.
Zero Zero Bar
I drove by this bar, or restaurant, not really sure what it is. Let my bike aside, came closer and saw a few guests enjoying their drinks and the breeze. Enjoying the beautiful views towards the sea, as it is exactly where it is situated, by the seashore. However, no trace of mushrooms on the menu, or in the drinks offer. I guess the Zero in the name of it means zero fungi of Fridays... and zero squared is still zero, so to be repeated, zero zero mushrooms you would find here. Skip it too...
Promenade
No, no and no. No need to go there, believe me. You can think some tiny mushrooms can hide there, in those bushes that are decorating the side of the promenade, but all that effort to try to find them would be in vain. Don't think you can find them on the beach either. (although @ewkaw proved the opposite, finding some of them in the sand, on a beach). The Spanish fungi don't like the sun, the pebbles and sand combination and all those people that go there to sunbathe and swim. Seems that the mushrooms are shyer and the beach, seashore, or any place close to it is a forbidden place in their own mushroom laws.
Dry Riverbed
Actually, there are already more chances you can find mushrooms by a river, or in the river bed, which is right now without water. We call it dry, as usually there is no water in it, it serves just to channel the excess water when it is raining too much. We see here a lot of greenery, mainly palm trees and shrubs, flowers and grass that is freely growing where it wants. A super place for mushrooms - we all can think that. But how wrong we are then! Not even one small mushroom was found by me in this whole area... and the riverbed passes through the whole town! Zero also for this place. Don't waste your time, don't hunt for them here today!
Supermarket
Ok! I do have a package of mushrooms in my hand, but this doesn't count! They are wrapped in plastic and no real challenge in searching for them. As they are already served like this, it's not exciting. I put it back and went for some broccoli (😁). So, the supermarket gets a big cross ❌ in our list... this is NOT a place you can have fun while searching for them. Just skip, please.
I almost gave up and enjoyed just my biking time. A bit too warm for a middle-of-October day, too much sun and summer vibes don't make a good background for an activity so well-known in autumn. They claim the best time to find mushrooms in the woods is this month, and I found none (just forget the fact that I was not in any forest but in an urban area). I felt betrayed and almost sad thoughts started to leak in my happy state... until... until I saw the next shop window!
Autumn scene and MUSHROOMS!
Is it for real?
Do I dream?
It's Friday and they came to a shop window to bring me a smile! And not just mushrooms but a cute squirrel, all patiently looking out to the street, from this cosy boutique.
Also, between the displayed clothes, more mushrooms greeted us today. Should I change my list, and add in the end one place where you can maybe have the luck to find fungi? A window shop?
Well, I am pretty sure the rest of the people will find some real mushrooms in some normal places, all those places, ie everywhere else, just not those that are on my list, and no need for this little trick. This post is anyways just a product of having fun, but still, an entry for the #FungiFriday thingy, held by @ewkaw :))
{will you kick me out of the community because of this post?}
lol

Thank you @xoxois 😇 for sharing this on Twitter 😌
methinks you are a mushroom jumkie :) ..... which is not a bad thing of course 😁
Hahahaha, do my posts reveal that lol?
must be more careful in future how I write 😂😂😂
🤥
😂
Hello, greetings🙏 your post is so nice I enjoyed reading this. very nice photos. more entertaining post.
but I found mushrooms in our park, on the road, in front of the neighbor's door, and in our garden. coming soon with that. Happy fungi Friday. Have a nice weekend. maybe you will get some mushrooms tomorrow while the weekend outing. Big good luck. Take care a hug 😊❤️
Well, you are very lucky you can find them that easily. The climate makes a lot of difference, and here it is not that often I can find any... so I have to do entertaining posts on the topic as no real mushrooms around :D
Hahaha you did eventually find some in the shop window. Yeah! 😉🤩🥳
I must agree, still no mushrooms around here either. It just looks like they disappeared forever out of Spain. It feels sooooo long ago the last time we found some here.
I even had to travel over “the pond” to capture some. I traveled 5500 km for that hahaha 🤣
Will post soon after some edits.
But here…. Nope no way there are any real ones left in Spain. It is still tooooo hot ☀️😎
Thanks for sharing this fun post @mipiano 👋🏻😁
Happy Friday!
Yes, I did!! Seems that we can find just drawings or window decoration mushrooms... that's our destiny @littlebee4 until we live in Spain :D
Indeed, so long time ago that I found any, Ow, wait. I found one, but somewhere in spring, but I have those photos on a hard disk that is taken out from the laptop, so at the moment they are "nowhere" hahaha, until I find a way to access the photos.
Yeah, you travelled over the pond, but you found them there? Maybe they all moved there? :D
I am glad you found fun in this one, it was all that I wanted with this post, have fun me and those who would maybe read it :))
Happy Friday to you too 😎
I know… we can find only the fake mushrooms here 🍄
Aawww that’s a shame you did find some and can’t access them right now. But one day you will 😁
Hahaha truly ever step I took in 2 forest… I saw soooo many. They were everywhere. All the mushrooms from Spain moved to New England hahaha !LOL
And you truly succeeded with the fun 🤩 thanks for that @mipiano 🤩
Thanks a lot.
Enjoy your weekend! ☀️🍄😉
So, tomorrow is Friday... would be there mushrooms or at least, fake mushrooms??? :)))
From my part unfortunately no, nada.
Hhhmmm need to see if I can edit some mushrooms too than.
I had a very busy day today, just back and now catching up.
Will try and let you know 😉 @mipiano
Sorry… I know the feeling. Luckily I found some on holidays. As they are still gone here.
You could draw some 😎 maybe… or bake some cookies in the form of mushrooms.
Or or I know.. 😇 make some early mushroom decorations for in the Christmas tree. With felt. (A fabric)
A white stem… and a red head… saw it together and fill it with cotton… maybe cut out of the white felt some dots for on it.
I made a few in the past 🍄🍄🍄 must be in a box some where. Hehehe
Ooooh, I missed that post of yours. Now I went to your blog and saw it, I noticed just the Market Friday post...sorry
All those ideas are great. Love that Christmas decoration one, they must be super cute!
And the cookies. Reminds me that I didn't bake anything for so long time. I should. But then I can't stop eating them and the kgs are just coming ;( No time for sport or any activity, it will not end well for my clothes hahaha
And you remember we had once the topic, stuff that resembles mushrooms! And you brought umbrellas. That was cool
I did end up editing some photos of mushrooms 🤩😁 yay…
No worries, you are still catching up. Easily missed hehehe 🤭 I did tag you. But I know some notifications are not showing up.
Yes, I haven’t baked in a while as our last rental the oven wasn’t great. Now it’s better. But haven’t had the time yet. And when it is yummy… I know, very tempting to eat them all hahaha 🤣
We need to keep our weight as steady as possible.
Yes, I remember. That was a great post. Let’s keep an eye out if something like that shows up again. As I have more things that are not mushrooms but can look like them.
I will post in the coming week more mushrooms, as I luckily found a lot in the states…
Have a great day further… 👋🏻☀️ here it’s grey today. Luckily the grocery shopping are done.
So now some time for other house shores… lol
Yes, supermarkets are the best place to look for mushrooms😅
That! ☝️
😆
😅, isn't that right, sir, there are many kinds of mushrooms, and the port is also not a bad idea to look for mushrooms, who knows if there is a group of whales sticking sea mushrooms on a ship😅
sea mushrooms? 😂😂😂
Then I should be a mermaid to see them :D
🤣🤣
That's a great idea ma'am, and by the way, somehow smile yourself reading your post, very interesting
Thank you for sharing with us ma'am, and happy #fungifriday
Thank you, although it is now not Friday anymore when I am responding here 😅
Happy weekend to you @roronoa46
It's an honor to have a greeting from you
Happy weekend ma'am
hahaha, I said it doesn't count!! 😁
Just too easy! Way too easy!
But yeah, the only place I can see real mushrooms here 😒
😅, i know it'm ma'am
Compared to the port, the fake mushrooms alone are not there,😅
Not real mushroom but it's cute..hehe.
Autumn is really here. I can feel it in the air.
In the lack of real mushrooms, the decoration is also sweet :D
Euj that is a good one to participate in the funghifriday since it is mushroom walhalla here at the moment!
Damn give me your weather and the harbour...looks like decent post summer weather!
Or mushrooms or good weather. We can't have both 🤣🤣
It was so warm today, and tomorrow will be also, maybe even warmer. Summer, also in full edition! 🌞
No Fun Guys in a bar? How could it be? 😮
But the ones on the last photo are so cool!
Winter is coming. And so the rain will start and there will be mushrooms even in Spain (I hope :p)
Do you want me to?😂
No. Zero Fun-Guys there... :D
zero zero.
Autumn and winter will come, but somehow I lost any hope that mushrooms would come with those seasons.
😓😓😓
no... but if the no mushroom trend continues, I will still bring just this kind of posts... and then you will kick me out, indeed... 😓
🤣
The fun writing to read. I Miss find mushroom in real from the nature, the wet ground with nice smell after rainy day.
Sebuah tulisan yang menyenangkan untuk dibaca. Aku merindukan untuk menemukan jamur secara nyata di alam, pada tanah basah yang berwangi menyenangkan sehabis hari hujan
Greetings from Indonesia.
thanks @sobatkelana
so you also miss finding mushrooms? well, the only option is that we write stories about them ;)
I love how the Spanish peeps paired squirrel and mushrooms! 😏
Hehehe, it was cute indeed :))
Your first place - the port - got me thinking. It have never crossed my mind, but since fungi are super ancient, shouldn't there be plenty of them in the most primal environment - in the water? I had to immediately find out. And I didn't want just any microscopic mushroom, some slimy mold that doesn't even resemble mushroom would not suffice either. It had to be something that produces fruiting body of some sort (not necessarily a cup).
It turns out there are such mushrooms, although I'm not sure if I should feel satisfied with it. First of all it looks like it is freshwater one, it would be better if you could find some in the ocean. On top of that, why is it that aquatic fungi are not common? They should be everywhere.
Oh, so you searched for an underwater mushroom, wow. Well, I don't know the reason, why aquatic mushrooms are not that common...but as I said, in the harbour I didn't find any haha
Thank you for doing this small research, so we know now a bit more about the existence of such species.
When I saw the title of the post, I didn’t think you meant it in a sense that you won’t find mushrooms in those 5 places. I thought maybe the mushrooms that are found in those 5 places are toxic to eat or something lol. I’m glad I was wrong.
As you see, I can't find mushrooms, regardless if toxic or edible. That is why I made this small list, so those are the places where others should not waste their time either :D
