At the caravan in Wales the beginning of August I happened to spot some plate fungus growing on a tree, It was one of the bigger ones I have see so far , just had to get a photo
Did not look hard to get to but it was
I managed to reach up and get s couple of photos
and with some further reaching got one looking down
On the way back I spotted butterfly's on a buddleia
The peacock flew off but the red admiral did not
Or the painted lady
Taking part in Our World Tuesday
Seems I inadvertently added a couple of photos of a Giant Puffball
Mushroom

Spottted it when we returned at the end of the month so went and got a couple of photos
The lumps missing seem to have been caused by slugs eating it.
When I walked back with the dog in the evening the puffball was missing and laying in the hedge further, I think some kid kicked it away. Shame really.

Great photos of the fungi.
Wow...I've never seen fungus this size! Impressive. And gorgeous butterfly images.
From this distance, that looks like Polyporus squamosus; if so, it's edible if young and tender enough. We have them here on the North Pacific, too.
Great photos!

Great capture of the mushrooms.
Worth a Thousand Words
Mushrooms/fungi fascinate me. I wish I'd started seriously pursuing the study of them years ago.
Thanks for joining us this week at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/09/a-strange-sight.html

Fascinating photos of fungus. Worth the effort to get those pictures.
The fungus is amazing and I'll have to keep my eyes open now to see if I can spot some around here. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding photos.
I love Fungus photos, I don't know why but I find them interesting.
Beautiful colors on that butterfly and the fungus is spectacularly BIG- lovely shots
Love the fungus photos and the butterflies. We've been seeing some very old dark fungus on a tree in our neighborhood. I should go photograph it.
These are big!
