One of the rarest and most endangered mushroom species on this planet.

📷 by

It's the elusive wrinkled peach mushroom (Rhodotus palmatus).

With the decline of ash wood and elm trees throughout Europe and Britain, these majestic mushrooms are increasingly becoming rarer and more endangered.

If you're wondering, the red sap-like substance is called "guttation", which is basically the mushroom's way of purging excess water as it grows.

This beauty is a digitalis campanulata (foxglove). The Latin word digitalis means finger and the blossoms of this flower fit the human finger almost perfectly. But the flowers and leaves are highly toxic, and this plant should not be grown in areas frequented by children.
