More fun with fungi


While crawling through the trees today, I found this beautiful fungus family growing on a tree branch. I just had to share its delicate frills with you! Isn't it amazing the way it has wraped itself in layers around the branch?

Coming up this week: more flowers, fresh buds, and trees of course.

  3. JB and Tahrman, I totally agree! We had some wonderful light rain on Saturday night, and come Sunday morning all the fungi was happily sprouting. I was positively smitten with this one... it's just amazing.

    Manu, merci! Vous êtes trop gentil!

  4. I'm waiting impatiently for the mushrooms here in Oregon. I haven't seen a decent one since late January. I'm fixated on the flowers, but I'm always looking for the mushrooms!

    This is a very fine fungus! I'm quite envious.

  5. Very fine indeed, Trailhead! It was a grand surprise for me as I wandered through the woods.

    Have you had much rain yet? The fungi around my Seabeck home in WA always made themselves known after a nice, sweet rain.

    I haven't seen the same amount of fungal diversity around here, but it's early yet!
