Lots of good ones to post, perhaps not all 280 though, lots are just the usual mushroom shape, nothing too exciting.
For todays fungi we go to one of those strange yellow ones that grow n dead wood. Heterotextus alpinus, Yellow Jelly Fungus. You will notice how small it is by the size of the moss. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
You would have to wonder what is the advantage of this fungi having the bright yellow it does? Love to think about these things.
Hi Frank. I thought if I posted at this time no one would be on. The fungi would be there when Friday arrives.
I know birds and insects are attracted to yellow so I guess the fungus produces these 'jelly beans' so that it can be transported to other areas. Just a guess though.
Here is one with a strange name, it's strange looking also. Helvella lacunosa, Black elfin saddle mushroom. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
I'd don't know what an elfin saddle looks like but this one appears as if it has been moulded out of grey clay. Weird!!
This was rather rare, only seen this one to photograph. Bleeding tooth fungus, Hydnellum peckii. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) Neat on the underside too. Thought it would be nice to see it also. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
I'm sure my detist would say that this one looks like a badly decayed tooth. Oh that reminds me I must make an appointment as a filling fell out last night.
Hello KD, Lovely mushroom foto's. The one of the bird's nest especially caught my eye as they are featured in the works of M.C. Escher. I would have liked to have seen them from the side as well as from above. Having said that, I liked seeing them and the rest. Well done, mate.
Hi Sjoerd, here is the side view. Pleased that you like fungi. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
The next fungi, Pseudoplectania vogesiaca, Today we have another that does not look like the mushrooms that we are used to seeing, one that grows on dead wood. Pseudoplectania vogesiaca, the Hairy black cup. Pseudoplectania vogesiaca, Hairy black cup. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
These photographs are really helping me out. Now when I take a walk I enjoy trying to ID what I see. :-D
