holy moley

I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I's a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground

A lichen on the branch of a tree. Dead bracken covers the ground.

Pale Brindled Beauty (Phigalia pilosaria).

Even though it was only 3°C when I went to bed, I decided to turn on the light anyway. So I was surprised to find a Pale Brindled Beauty, my second of the year, this morning. #teammoth

A fresh molehill on a snowy field. Power lines and some trees are in the distance.

This mole has been busy, despite the cold weather.

Reminds me of a Portuguese man o’ war #FungiFriends

Today's slime mould,Trichia crateriformis, which has opened up its top to release its spores (by a process known as circumsessile dehiscence!)

A yellow jelly fungus growing on gorse. There is snow on the ground.

Witches' butter, golden jelly, or yellow trembler. Common names for the parasitic Tremella mesenterica fungus.

Rhytisma acerinum (tar spot) on sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) leaves. It's a relatively harmless parasite and at the same time a bioindicator of low air pollution. Kicin, Wielkopolska (western Poland)

A fuzzy wild blackberry leaf and its stem are covered in a wet, slimy, yellow substance - a slime mold. Short, lumpy strands of the yellow slime mold dangle from the edges of the leaf. Each spike is almost entirely smothered by the slowly crawling yellow slime.

It's always fascinating to see slime molds taking over plants as they crawl around for food. It's like seeing an alien life form

A moth larvae surrounded by lichen.

I think it's a moth larvae, maybe a yellow underwing. It's very early. Is spring starting here already?

Looking across a leafy hiking path through a forest blanketed in mist. The sun struggling up over the hill beyond the forest.

It was misty up in the forest yesterday.

Very cool. I like it

Interesting images. How are you making these, Null?

A large molehill with more molehills nearby. A gate and fence are at the end of the grass, with trees in the distance. The air is heavy with mist.

A mighty molehill, and a glorious carnage across this field.
