Today I had my 3 monthly hospital appointment and things are looking very promising, some of this is due to my wife who has great faith in me, and also I believe quite a lot comes from the good wishes of her many friends on the internet. Thank you all very much, you are an inspiration to me. That was the magic bit, now for the mushrooms. Fungi are funny things, they hold a fascination for me and my grandsons. We like to look for the different types, even though we have no idea what most of them are called. We do not pick them, instead we take photographs to add to our collection. Come with me and experience the sometimes weird but always magical world of the mushroom.
These always remind me of barnacles.
The Lone Ranger.
Coral perhaps.
I think this one is a Puffball.
A little frayed at the edges?
Golf ball maybe.
This is a golf ball nest.
Weird and wonderful.
This looks a little like a curling stone.
Looks like snow but it is a type of fungus.
This group looks like a small village of domed huts.
Beautiful coral shapes.
Almost crab like.
A family group perhaps?
This one always reminds me of a cuttlefish bone, the kind that is given to pet cage birds.
Fairy parachutes?
