Some cup mushrooms of very different sizes.

Orange peel fungus growing amidst some short green moss. As the name suggests, it looks like discarded orange peels, thin and flat but also curving and folding.

A side view of the orange peel fungus, showing the edge lifting up, and showing how thin it is.

Eyelash fairy cups, small dark orange fungus, slightly cup shaped, with black fringe that looks like eyelashes. It's growing on the underside of dark rotting wood with a lovely layer of green moss above.

The cut end of a tree stump on its side, with lots of little yellow dots. It's lemon disco fungus. They're super tiny and slightly cup shaped.

Pink ghost pipes

Ghost pipes growing on the forest floor. They have pink stems, and white leaves and petals. The stems are straight, with the flowers turning down at the top.

A Callirhytis lanata gall just in time for #GallWeek

A green torn oak leaf in the palm of my hand, bottom side up, with a little beige ball stuck to it, that looks like wool fiber, smaller than the width of my finger.

Looking down at mushrooms growing out the side of a fallen tree trunk. They're beige at the edges, turning golden brown in the centers, dotted in dark pointy scales

The same mushrooms seen from the side. They're growing up the side of the woods like a mycelial spiral staircase.

A beige jelly textured, brain shaped fungus, growing from leaf litter, with green forest in the background.

A closer view looking straight down at the same fungus. It's composed of lots of squiggles. They look rubbery in texture, kind of like calamari
