Magical Autumn wonderland at Knockbarron wood ❤️ @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social
Autumn colours are just spectacular right now. I visited Knockbarron wood as the light was fading to dusk.
So still and serene, the beauty within took my breath away.

This is mycelium from the Honey fungus known as "bootlaces" which are tough, root-like rhizomorphs that allow the fungus to spread through the soil and infect trees up to 9 metres away!They are a key part of the honey fungus lifecycle, helping it move from one host to another. Amazing nature!

We had the pleasure of co-hosting a community storytelling in #Kilcormac last month and photographer @tinaclaffey.bsky.social was a special guest. Tina shared a little of her own story, her changing relationship to the bog, and how it now defines her artistic work #LoveBogs
