Fungi Friday: The Little, the Large and the Lost to Decay

(Edited)

I went looking for fungi in the wood again today. The weather was nice and dry which made it a lot easier to walk around, as opposed to wet and muddy. I saw a mix of fresh and decaying fungi mostly growing on old logs. I never know what they all are, but it was interesting to see a different selection.

These are fan shaped and layered so they look like turkey tails, growing on the dead wood.

These are actually very tiny bonnet fungi. They were that small, I had to get up close and personal with them, otherwise they would have got lost in the photo.

This was a brown, round cap with white gills. It was soft to the touch. It looked as though something had been nibbling on it.

This one was unusually zig zag shaped. I liked the orange colour next to the green algae.

At the moment, I have to really hunt the fungi out, as they are still quite scarce. I still enjoyed my short walk, though, for my contribution to #fungifriday by @ewkaw.

Love fungi, so fascinating and highly fundamental to natures systems.

Me too. I just look a bit weird to passersby when I'm in the thick of things, looking for fungi. 😀

Good day, dear friend @ellenripley

It's clear this bisque is quite humid, essential for mushroom growth.

The species you've found are beautiful.

Excellent shots.

Have a great day.

Awesome captures with moss and mushrooms peeking out, something we do not see that often. Perhaps not getting close enough into notice of late.

Thank you @joanstewart. I do risk life and limb. Quite often I get tangled up in the brambles to get to them. 😀

Clambering around a wee bit brings life closer to photograph, reality always brambles or thorns to remind you it's fun.
