What at first glance looks like the caps of reddish fungi on a tree trunk, turns out to be the large fruiting bodies of an epiphytic peltigera lichen.

But of course, lichens are part fungi. So in that sense, the initial judgement wasn't wrong!

The magic of an Irish rainforest.

#Fungi #Mushroom #MushroomMonday #MacroMonday These pop up in late August. Their pinkish-red caps are easy to spot in the moss. The trick is to find an unblemished one that is 'up' before the slugs or squirrels get to it.

To the women who create, nurture, endure and still rise.
Your strength echoes through the past, your courage is alive in the present, and your spirit quietly shapes whatโ€™s ahead.
Letโ€™s celebrate women every day, not just today. ๐ŸŒธโœจ

Four old and sturdy birch trees grow in a cluster on a slope. In front of them is a magpie that looks at me as I aim the camera in the direction of the trees.

Four old and sturdy birch trees grow in a cluster on a slope. In front of them is a magpie that looks at me as I aim the camera in the direction of the trees.

I'm pretty sure I heard my friend the magpie just humming: "Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile" ๐Ÿ’š
...and I suspect that the kibbles have something to do with that ๐Ÿ˜‰

A riverside view looking downstream at the Falls of Dochart, Killin, Perthshire, Scotland on a cloudy September day.
In the foreground is a large solitary Scots Pine tree. Its base is surrounded by and growing out of a large rock. The smooth rock pavement is beneath this and runs leftwards down to the River Dochart.
The river cascades over various terraces of rocks forming peaty-white water as it tumbles over them and downstream. Some large rocks are exposed above the water.
In the background the river runs underneath the Bridge of Dochart (opened in 1760) a traditional stone arched bridge.
The sky is full of light grey clouds.

In the hollow of the circle I teeter on uneven ground that is home to tall moss covered trees reaching so high into the blue, blue sky. Partial shadow leads to bright beautiful sunshine lending a little hope

A log covered with Ishnoderma resinosum - late fall polypore. If you catch them young the white outer edges are soft and edible. The browner parts are conk-like and very firm. This mushroom lacks gills. Instead, it has a pore surface on the underside of the cap. Common to find.

A mushroom on a sunny day, among the green of dandelion and clover leaves. It has a smooth, tan coloured cap with an off white porous underside. The stipe is white with vertical brown striations.
