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

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.
ReplyDeleteWow...I've never seen fungus this size! Impressive. And gorgeous butterfly images.
ReplyDeleteFrom 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!

Mushrooms/fungi fascinate me. I wish I'd started seriously pursuing the study of them years ago.
