From the elusive Morel mushrooms, Morchella esculenta and M conica, to the majestic Gorner glacier with the Monte Rosa massif and Lyskamm peaks at dusk in Zermatt, Valais canton, Switzerland. But beware. Amidst this beauty lies danger. The Death cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides lurks in shadows alongside the Shaggy inkcap and mica cap.

As dawn breaks again over this picturesque landscape, embrace another sunrise before Monte Rosa from the same ancient church. As night falls upon us, gaze upon the Swiss side of Monte Rosa Massif near Riffelsee Lake (Zermatt), revealing its nocturnal charm. Amongst it all stands an edible delight - Russula virescens - beckoning those who dare to indulge while remaining cautious of suspect imitations. Venture further into Dufour's realm and discover Honey fungus like Armillaria bulbigera and A robusta weaving their way through nature's tapestry. And there you'll find Earthball - Scleroderma vulgare var verrucosum - adding its unique touch to this ever-evolving canvas.
