My final post, for a while, from Balbirnie Park, is of some bracket fungus. Like the lichen, I’m no expert on fungi, so I’m unsure of the genus or species of this particular mushroom.

Ooh, I’m a big fungus fan. I love the way they grow up, or around, particular trees. I never have any idea what they are either, but they are beautiful. Great picture.

Thanks Anabel 🙂 And you sum up nicely how I feel about mushrooms, I love looking and photographing them, but can’t identify all but a few!

Thank you Lynz 🙂 Surprisingly, mushrooms are actually quite easy in a lot of cases to look pretty, or if not pretty, at least quite magical looking 🙂

Love all the filaments in these (or whatever the proper name is!) Great photo.

Thanks Jo 🙂 I think you are right Jo, I’m sure they are called filaments. I know you can use their patterns, shape and the way they connect to the main stem (I think that’s a thallus), to help identify the mushroom 🙂 But alas, you also need various other bits to, which I didn’t note down when I took the photo 😦

I love to see all kinds of fungi, and there’s always so much around in autumn. I particularly like to see different types of bracket fungus, although I couldn’t name any. I love the angle from which you’ve taken this photo, Andy. The underside is so intricate and delicate. 🙂

Thanks Millie 🙂 Fungi are great to photo this time of the year. Helen at Argyll Garden (https://argyllgarden.wordpress.com/) has some wonderful fungi photos, and she’s also quite good at identifying them 🙂

I’ll be sure to have a look tomorrow. There are some really unusual shaped one’s but I don’t know many names. I ought to make a point of finding out. Thank you for the link. 😀
