I’ve never seen anything like this before…
They seem to come in all shapes and sizes
Just when I thought fungus (fungi?) season was over…
They are just everywhere at the moment…
GPS on the camera. Whatever next? Google Maps not so happy with the Lat and Long numbers however.
The Decibel or dB is not a unit, it is a ratio and here we see a small and large mushroom and, if we had the time and energy, we could work out the ratio between the big and little mushroom. I’m thinking about a 10 to 1 ratio here: 10:1 but I stand to be corrected. Ultimately…who cares!!!
A spot of Photoshop neural filter skulduggery…
Yucky stuff stuck to a tree in the woods…
These mushy mushrooms would probably kill you stone dead if you cared to nibble on one of them.
Join me for a walk in the woods close to Duff House in Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
We’re firmly back in Scotland!
For those people who remember Andy Capp and his creator Reg Smythe. The fungus is the right shape for Andy’s cap!
We’ve noticed quite a few trees up here in the Cairngorms that appear to be dying. Disease? Polution? We’re not sure but a pity to see trees dying off…
A strange spotted mushroom found in the Cairgorms today whilst out on a dog walk. No sign of any red squirrels yet…
I really must find out what these things are called…
It must be Spring. We have fungi again.
My fascination with these strange mushrooms (?) continues. They seem to be surviving the winter against all the odds. The strange life of fungi!
Cute toadstools growing on a rotting log. A more inquisitive man would find out what they are called…
For some reason this high-rise fungi was growing up the side of just one tree in the entire forest. I took the photograph yesterday, by this morning the fungi had all died back. Strange is the life of fungi.
I’ve been out and about today taking photographs of fungi at Hemmeland (not far from Amsterdam and a delightfully secret bit of the Netherlands)
