Fungus; some are edible, some are not. The ones in this picture are not, at least not in the way we consume mushrooms.

These are not poisonous though; on the contrary, old people in my tribe would tell you they contain some health properties but only eminent herbalists would be able to say what the properties are. Definitely not aphrodisiac if that’s what you are thinking.

You can tell poisonous fungus by their smell. If they they don’t smell like chemicals, they can’t be poisonous.

Anyway, this was another photo opportunity which I should have explored extensively, like taking much closer shots of the fungus from various angle.
