Hanging Around

 

This is some sort of Bracket Fungi I think. I took this last year.

Scarlet Elf Cup

 

Scarlet Elf Cups here. I have posted a few of these over the years. I sadly missed them this year due to my injury. They are lovely bold red mushrooms and edible too!

Out In The Woods

 

This is from last year when I was in the woods! I think it looks like Jelly Ear Fungus. I love taking photos of mushrooms.

So after yesterday waiting for them to come to collect the aids, the guy refused to take the wheelchair we bought because it wasn't "official". Oh my! So I'll give it to a charity shop next week. At least I tried!

Miss Scarlet

Not quite Miss Scarlet from Clue. We actually called it Cluedo over here!

This is a collection of Scarlet Elf Cup mushrooms. I took this last year, at the end of January. I will probably have missed them this year as they grow in the woods further than I can walk just now! They are also edible and good with a salad, I was reading!

A Brainy Mushroom

 

Doesn't this mushroom look like brains? Yikes! From what I can tell, it is the False Morel. 

Common Bonnet Mushroom

 

I think this is the Common Bonnet. I enjoy taking photos of mushrooms.

Shaggy Inkcap

 

This is a Shaggy Inkcap Mushroom (Coprinus comatus). At this stage it is edible from what I have read. Once it opens up and goes black, then don't eat it! I love taking photos of Mushrooms!

Happy October everyone. Where has the year gone? This is a lovely mushroom! 

Shelter For Fairies

 

I thought these mushrooms looked like the ideal shelter for fairies! I have no idea what type they are. Google is giving me a few answers!

Mushrooms

 

I found these mushrooms deep in the forest. I am not entirely sure what they are, best I could come up with was Honey Fungus

It's Huge!

 

This is a Birch Polymore (Fomitopsis betulina) growing on a tree. It was huge! 

Shelter for Fairies

 

Not quite sure what these mushrooms are but they sure do offer shelter to the fairies in the forest.

Pacman Mushroom

 

This is a Scarlet Elf Cup mushroom. I think it looks like Pacman! I took this a few days ago. This week I have been getting out my walks. Just short walks but will build it up again.

Common Bonnet

 

I think this is a Common Bonnet Mushroom. I struggle to identify them and spend ages online trying! Anyway I thought this looked magical.

Glistening Inkcap

 

This mushroom is called Glistening Inkcap. It looks like a few animals from the forest have been eating it!

Turkey Tail Tree

 

This is Turkey Tail growing on a tree. I always enjoyed seeing it on my walks but sadly someone knocked it down a few years ago.

RIP to Zakir Hussain who died today. I am a fan of Shakti, Remember Shakti and Tabla Beat Science. He was such a talent.

Mushroom Stairs

 

I thought these mushrooms looks like a set of stairs! I wonder where they lead to?

Mushroom

 

I am not exactly sure what type of mushroom this is and my research didn't yield a definitive answer. Does anyone know? I think it looks good.

A Fly On The Mushrooms

 

There is a little fly on these mushrooms. Can you spot it? I think these are Turkey Tail mushrooms.

Scarlet Elf Cup

 

These are Scarlet Elf Cup mushrooms. They look pretty funky and amazing I think. They stand out as they are bright red! And I have just checked they are edible too, if cooked thoroughly!
