Ode to the Octopus Beech
She was magnificent & gnarled
We visited often in awe
Her body now lies in pieces
Chainsaw serrations on old limbs
My heart grieves

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!

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.

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!

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

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
