Great article!
Mushroom determinations via photos are uncertain and without guarantee. I think you have found a colony of Genus Armillaria. (in German: Hallimasch ;-) )

The 1st photo of the stream has a great atmosphere! ;-)
Thanks Andy! That first shot wasn't a great photograph in the sense of great technical skill or ability. But, i did really like the 'atmosphere' of how the light went with the degeneration of that fallen fungal friend. I'm glad you found value in that one. It was difficult for me to put that image first instead of one of the better options... but i stayed true to my Show in Chronological Order as i Tell. Kind of why the name for the previous two posts.
Cheers browski! Thanks for the extra info Hallimasch = Honungssvamp here in Sweden! hahahaha
