If you weigh up all the ways to spend your time, finding tiny mushroom worlds in the forest I think ranks up there. #Hiking #Photography #ForestFriday #Forest #Trees #Woodland #Woods #Fungi #FungiFriends #FungiFest #ColorADay #YellowThu #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Looking up at the underside of a False Chanterelle, with its intricate folds of yellow, golden gills. Ferns and leaf litter poking up here and there.

A family of False Chanterelles a few kilometers away in the same forest. Tiny ferns invading every available space beneath them.

Sorry I missed you all today, will catch up tomorrow. For now have some mushrooms. #Hiking #Photography #WoodlandWednesday #Fungi #FungiFriends #FungiFest #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

Sulphur Tufts (?) growing from the remnants of a felled tree. They have a beautiful red at the top of the cap.

A Tawny Grisette (?) on the larger side at 8cm or so. Beautiful rippled gills underneath.

A solitary Egghead Mottlegill out in the high fields.

A sturdy Webcap of some kind growing in a field at the edge of the forest.

A few days ago. Looking over the heather Tibradden Cairn. I think the heather and gorse have peaked now. #Hiking #Photography #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

A view over a field of yellow gorse pea flowers and purple/pink heather. In the distance the land falls off down to the Little Dodder and the hill on the other side is the edge of Cruagh Woods.

The common moorhen is quite cute I think. They're very common here. #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #UnsungBirds #ECK #Ireland

With a little light these beauties really stand out from the rest of the darker forest. Some of them are tiny and hard to spot but they shine when the light hits them. #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

Gorgeous Stagshorn Fungus on a little hill deep in a dark forest. A tiny sliver of sunlight lights up its tips.

What? Only this month? I'm out hiking and part of the trail was back along a country road. This was the sign outside an army camp. I hadn't realised CorpSpeak had infiltrated the armed forces. #Hiking #Photography #Ireland

A sign that reads "Value of the month: Integrity" posted by the Irish Defence Forces (the Army).

Sometimes you find yourself just standing in water wondering about the choices you've made in life. #Photography #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #Blue #Heron #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

One for Rob's Blue theme today. Another heron from our local lake. Though it's a Grey Heron they do have patches of blue.

By the side of a hiking trail in Wicklow. Interesting purple colouration, almost like ink on skin. #Hiking #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mushrooms #ECK #Ireland

Top view of a mushroom cap curled up in places against a green sea of tiny ferns. The outer parts brown with an inner purple stained pattern and a little dew left from the morning rains.

Sorry if you're bored of mushroom photos but there's so many right now. This odd looking specimen was growing from the remnants of a fence post lying in the mud. The orange colour was incredibly bright in the sun. #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #StunDay #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

A bright orange mushroom possibly a Webcap or an Oyster of some variety. It was medium sized, about 7 to 10cm.

I don't have many bird photos but for Rob's bird of the day I've got this juvenile herring gull. It had gone for a dip in the lake and stood here cleaning and drying off, oblivious to passers by. #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #Gull #BirdOfTheDay #ECK #Ireland

Like yesterday we have a bright blue warm day here in Dublin. Had a good morning out in the fields. #Hiking #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #MushroomMonday #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

Looking up the hill at Killakee. Patches of blue sky, forest in the distance.

A frail looking red button mushroom. Leaf litter and pine needles all around.

A bright, little yellow/brown mushroom growing in detritus of the forest floor. Maybe a Mottlegill.

A nice example of a Puffball in prime condition.

More mushrooms from the forest. These stood out with their vivid while colouration, sticky and dripping wet. They're so otherworldly white I think they look quite sinister. #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #StunDay #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

Tall white mushrooms growing among leaf litter and pine needles on the forest floor.

Deep rust coloured red ferns decaying at the edge of the forest. The air thick with moisture obscuring everything else.

Spotted a few of these creamy, spiky, little beauties in the darkest part of the forest. Many were inaccessible but we eventually found a few we could get to. #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #ECK #Ireland

This bulbous little thing is a Common Puffball. They give off little puffs of smoke when they start to decay.

It's mushroom season. Glistening, shiny, sticky mushroom season. #Hiking #ForestFriday #Fungi #FungiFriends #ECK #Ireland

A Larch Bolete growing on the forest floor among pine needles. They have a distinctive membrane under the cap and that curled up ring around the stem. A moss covered stone wall and the rest of the forest in the background. The wall is likely older than the forest.

Mushroom world out in the turf bog. (No filter, just hazy because I messed up the focus) #Hiking #Photography #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #Mushrooms #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

A large brown mushroom growing in the soil with heath and heather surrounded by clubmoss and grasses. Could be a deer shield (or similar).

The underside of a large fungus (~20cm) called the Dyer’s Polypore. It oozes liquid and you can see a few droplets on the leftmost piece. Used in traditional dying for shades of yellow, gold and brown. #Hiking #Photography #WoodlandWednesday #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

This forest doesn't usually look great. It's dry, over planted and not maintained. But in the right light, it looked like this yesterday. #Hiking #Photography #WoodlandWednesday #Forest #Trees #Woodland #Woods #ECK #Dublin #Ireland

A dry dark forest lit up with soft orange light in the early morning.
