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
