    Ja, KD--That is interesting to see. I have never seen this sort that was so "hairy", so to speak....and with such a thick stalk. When I am out in the woods and I find something to "study", then I do it from all sides. I sometimes forget to take foto's from diverse angles to look at later, and am then sorry.

    Butr what interesting that north american specise is.

    Thanks for posting, and thanks for going to trouble of posting the lateral view. I appreciate that very much.

    Success further in your photography.

    I usually take 6 or more shots of each thing I find, but as most people aren't too interested I only post one, or a second with something really different about it like this one and the bleeding tooth one.

    We have another two images today as this fungi, Ramaria araiospora, Red Coral Mushroom, starts really red and then fades to pinkish.

    This black one is rather easy to miss as it mostly blends right in with the mosses and the darkness of the woods. It is Trichoglossum hirsutum, Earth Tongues.

    The more you post the more I realise just how little I know about fungi.

    I love this thread! :D You've got such a good eye Kildale, and I'm so pleased that you take time sharing the fungi. I'm rather partial to fungi myself.

    Hi Droopy, I'm pleased that you enjoy fungi too. It is amazing how many species there are in all locations. Everyone can find some without travelling too far.

    Another day, another mushroom. A little different again from the usual shape of a mushroom. Pseudohydnum gelatinosum, Toothed Jelly Fungus.

    This is the underside showing why it is called toothed.
