under a rowan tree
#trees #scotland
A photo taken looking up at the trunk and branches of an old rowan tree in a forest. The many branches make a contrasting pattern against the sky and leaves above.

a little maidenhair spleenwort?
tbh it’s name sounds like a potion ingredient!! also this pic doesn’t show how tiny it is at all
a closeup photo of a fern growing from a crack in a stone wall. The fern’s fronds are stubby round “leaves” (pinnae). A few small twigs are caught in the ferns, along with a dandelion seed.

fly agaric, hiding
before taking this, I didn’t realise how gross the little white spots look up close… still cool tho
#fungi
A close up photo of a fly agaric mushroom amongst some grassy debris. The red cap of the mushroom looks shiny and a bit damp. The white spots on the cap look crumbly, like old bits of biscuit. A few long pine needles have fallen on the top of the mushroom.

in the meantime … soggy inkcaps from last year? anyone?
#fungi
A photo of several bunches of mushrooms growing in a small patch of dirt, grass, and moss. The mushrooms are in various stages of growth. All of them look damp, and the soil and pavement are wet from rain. A few thin tree roots are poking out of the soil/grass.

big tree mushroom :)
i think it’s a dryad’s saddle
A photo of a tree from a few meters away in a deciduous forest. The ground is covered in long grass and leafy debris, moss is growing on the tree trunk, and the tree’s bark is rippled and crackling. The branches of the tree are not visible in the photo (it’s focussed on the bottom trunk). A large, layered mushroom is growing atop a large knot on the tree trunk.
