Fungi

Here are some of the pictures that Sonny has taken of some fungi. It amazes me that there are so many types of fungi just in a small proximity. We have a lovely one that is growing on our old cherry tree stump and it started out as such a small little thing and now has such a lovely shape and fullness to it. I will ask Sonny to take a good picture of it later, but here are a few of the others. Maybe you won't like them as I do but here goes. You could always add some of your own.

Right he has been and taken this photo of the fungus I like on the stump of our cherry tree. Thankyou Sonny Each of the little sections are separate little fungi which then form the round pattern (or so it looked to me when they first appeared). Each of them get bigger as new ones form on top so that when you look at it now there are very large ones at the base and small ones above and in the middle. I think they are all fascinating.

Aha! Somebody else who is Fascinated by Fungi! Are all those from your own garden? I love the shapes they make, and have been actively looking for ones to photograph on my dog walks. Here's a few I found - the first one is from our garden, near the pond.
