Fungi - 2019
This season has seen a really spectacular display of Fungi in woods in our area. The conditions have been ideal, - lots of rain but still quite mild temperatures, -it really has brought Fungi up in large numbers. These are a few of the recent shots taken over the last few weeks.
All shots taken with the Olympus OMD-E M1 MkII , and either the 60m Macro F2.8 or the 40-150 F2.8 Pro lens with the MC 14 converter attached. All images at ISO 200 and on a tripod.

One of the Mycena Family of Fungi.
Glistening Ink Caps
Habit shot of Fungi growing in Arger Fen
Rhodotus Palmatus, or commonly know as `Wrinkled Peach Fungus`
The most easily recognised Fungus. Fly Agaric.
Dead Mans Fingers. It reputed to have got is morbid name back in the days of the `Black Death`, when people were more used to seeing dead and decaying corpses.
Poached Egg Fungus. Sometimes called `Beech Tuft Fungus` because it only grows on Beech. Another name for it is Porcelain Fungus
Sulphur Tuft Fungi
The next four shots are of Magpie Ink Cap Fungi. The first shot shows two growing side by side in their habitat. The second is one that is just starting to come up. The third is one in pristine condition, and the fourth is one that has `gone over` and is starting to decay. This can happen very quickly. They are edible, but if you pick a basket of them one afternoon and expect to have them for breakfast the next morning, your in for a surprise, because they turn to a black gooey mess within a matter of hours.
Candle Snuff Fungus
Yellow Brain Fungus
Yellow Strainer Fungi. A white fungus that turns yellow if you rub it.
Yellow Antler Fungi
