Its been ages since I've been able to.image anything in the night sky, due to weeks of rain and cloud. Had a brief hour before clouds moved in tonight and got zeroed in on old favourite M42, Orion Nebula #orion #astrophotography #astronomy #seestars50 #astro #nebula

Trichia sp. slime mould growing in good numbers on fallen logs in a local woodland. I used the wonderful Smallrig RM03 macro light to light this shot on the Cankn R7 and Sigma 105mm #fungifriends #mycology #slimemould #slimemold #myxomycetes

A nice wee group of Oysters growing on an decaying birch log in the wet woodland adjacent to the peat bog. Even when the mushroom season seems over, habitats like this can still produce flushes as the temp and climate are held in place by the environment #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends #mycology

Normally I have to travel a few miles to see any decent mushrooms, but spotted these when walking the dog and were a welcome surprise. #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends
