So many reasons to stop on my trail run this morning. The bluebells are at their best right now in Pembrokeshire. Have you explored a bluebell wood near you?

🔴 Sarcoscypha austriaca Scarlet elf cups are popping up in the woods. They grow on dead wood & love to hide in the damp. In European folklore, it was said that wood elves drank morning dew from the cups. Also known as Fairy baths! #fungi #fungifriends

Have you ever seen Jelly Ear fungus growing on a gate?? Auricularia auricula-judae usually grows on trees like elder, first time for me seeing it popping out of someone's back gate! #fungi #fungifriends #mycology

Will it jiggle? Not this one! Quite firm to the touch & not as slimy as expected. Exidia thuretiana - white brain fungus. Growing on fallen birch. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Have you tickled a slime mould today? The bright yellow plasmodium I visited has turned into this gorgeous display. This= the end of the plasmodium but its spores will travel in the wind, settle & possibly become a free swimming haploid amoeba. Fascinating! #slimemould #slimemold #naturephotography

Candlesnuff fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon). Small, common & easily overlooked but with mighty properties: anti-viral & active against tumours, & ever so slightly bioluminescent. Aka stag’s horn fungus, candlestick fungus, carbon antlers #nurturebynature #fungi #fungifriends

Like bunches of grapes, these are the tiny hanging sporangia of the slime mould Badhamia utricularis. Such an exciting find & worth going out in the rain for! They grow on dead wood & develop from a stunning yellow plasmodium, shown on the right #nurturebynature #slimemould

Every walk in the woods yields an awesome find - tiny mushrooms on a mushroom! A type of mycoparasite but unsure which. Host shroom was too gone over to id. But a fascinating find! #fungifriends #FungiFriday #fungi #mycology #naturephotography
Tiny white fungal fruiting bodies, mushrooms, growing on a much larger dark brown mushroom cap. Two brown mushroom caps with tiny white fungal fruiting bodies growing out the centre. On the woodland floor.
