more #MushroomMonday but new trip this time, just stuff seen along a walk from apartment to local coffee shop(!) whole lotta #amanita
an overhead view of a mature specimen of The Classic fly agaric, a rich, almost unnatural red with white speckles, surrounded by grass, oak leaves and acorns, and a bit glistening from the rain
a close-up of The Classic fly agaric, in a relatively young stage, about the size of a golf ball, but red with all the white spots, surrounded by oak leaves
The Classic fly agaric, same grove in the same needle-strewn floor, a variety of colors on the umbrella caps - reds, oranges, and a sickly bleached yellow-white
The Classic fly agaric on a very pine needle cluttered urban forest floor, one large orange umbrella hovering over a smaller, younger red cap, almost like a mother protecting her child

Look at these cool weird #mushrooms I found at the #UCDavis Arboretum
#CreepyMushrooms #fungi
MORE WEIRD GEODESIC MUSHROOMS
More mushrooms , including a baby one that looks like it's hatching from its pod
Another weird mushroom, of the same kind as before but yellow
Weird hollow mushroom that looks like a slightly squashed geodesic dome

Also if people are looking for ways to keep people away from nuclear waste sites for1000000 years, might I suggest the shapes and colors of Clathrus mushrooms #mushrooms #CreepyMushrooms #fungi

This time of year is so interesting for interesting people interested in interesting things. Saw so much
#fungi today, and here are three of the best, plus a really interesting gall
1) Upright Coral fungus
2) Candlesnuff fungus
3) Snowy waxcap
4) Common spangle gall wasp's gall

Close up of a dark brown oak leak with a number of circular galls with a circular raised centre ... think circular fried eggs of poppers on clothes. They are a pale yellow/off white, with speckles. You can't see them but each raised centre has a larvae inside.
A silky, ivory white round headed fungus in grass. Almost jellyfish like. It has a translucent quality.
Some thin, pointed vertical fungus growing on wood. They are individual stems, black like coal dust at the base and a little way up the stem, turning to a powdery white
A pink-orange fungus growing vertically. It resembles very upright coral with little branches coming off at the top

Mushrooms climb the bark,
steps of time on leaning wood—
still pond mirrors sky.

4/5 #Fungi
Two small mushrooms from a second fungi hunting trip to #EppingForest. The focus-stacking by hand worked particularly well on this one - it needed a bit of practice.
Sigma 105 f2.8 #macro lens with a four-thirds mount - adapted to my OM1 - LED panel.

Penny buns in clover. That phrase makes them sound rather happy! This drawing will certainly cheer up someone's home. You can send it as a gift if you visit my Folksy shop...
