Fungi

[Tig]

My wood chippings attract a varied selection of these each year -
found this little forest today (with an interested feline wanting to get in the frame!)

[Weeterrier]

Very bonny

[Chuckles]

Very nice pic Tig, love your cat too must keep my eyes peeled for fungi to photograph.

[Tig]

Here's one I took earlier (Oct 2005) - wish I new what types they were!

[Weeterrier]

Even bonnier ;D

[Chuckles]

Lovely photo Tig. We went for a ride out tonight, took my camera hoping to spot some Fungi growing on trees down some of the country lanes

Not a Fungi in site

Goodness - I must stop typing so fast - my spelling is useless at times! (just put the 'k' in) and my grammar even worse!

not exactly photogenic, but fungi - and bonny in their way... part of today's menu, gathered from the farm next door:

[carolann]

Found these fun guys on a wood pile ;D ;D




Last one reminds me of an earhole ;D Tig your 2005 one reminds me of Journey to the centre of the earth, brill pic's everyone.

[Shrubrose]

Oooo Carolann, they look evil dont they?

[carolann]

Here are a couple of I think they are bracket fungi.

[Weeterrier]

Autumn colours and Fungi. Two for the price of one. ;D

[carolann]

A Ranger friend has just told me the names of the fungi's, the first one is called Jews Ear and when it is dry it shrivels up to almost nothing then opens up when it is damp. The second lots of pics is called Birch Bracket as it mainley grows on Birch, and it is said that early man used it to carry fire around, you could light one and it would smoulder all day, also you can sharpen a razor on them as well. Just two bits of info about them.

[Tig]

Thanks Carolann, really interesting - can you print the page out and see if he/she knows any of the others
I wish I knew someone who could identify them!! x Tig

Fine fruiting body... though I guess I should be ashamed - it's growing on the inside of my (neglected) kitchen window...

Whatever it is, it's ephemeral, they appeared this morning, one as you can see has already gone over at the time of the pic (3pm) and as of now the other is fading too...



OM.

[Weeterrier]

Actually, that is really quite beautiful.

I'd agree with Wee on that being quite beautiful so I reckon it deserves it's 1st nomination for

It's like a fairy's skirt Seconded!

[Rosefriend]

Yes and I will third it...I certainly wouldn't like to eat it but it is very beautiful in it's own right....

I found these when we were out for a walk on Boxing Day. I've only just sussed out how to download pictures from my camera since my PC is playing silly bu**ers

I hope they're ok. My screen makes it difficult to tell whether they're any good or not.

[Weeterrier]

[nightowl]

There both excellent photo's FA, but this one does it for me so it gets a 2nd

[Deleted]

Blimey ! Thanks. I still can't tell if they're even in focus properly so I'll take your word for it ;D

[Ladygardener]

They're really quite lovely FA
OM that looks like it's come from fairy land. beautiful ;D

[Amo]

Anyone know what these are that appeared on 31st October in my lawn? They weren't too far from the trunk of an aged Rowan. I'm wondering if it is a part of it's dying process

[Ruthie]

Sorry I don't know Amo but that is a fantastic photo! So clear! 1st nomination...
