Attingham park fungi

Today's Sunday Challenge is: MUSHROOMS/FUNGI

We had a very wet, mild and windy December 2021, and many trees and branches were blown down. January 2022 is having a late fungal fest, The main photo was taken this week at Attingham Park. Of the two PiPs, they were both taken the previous week, one at Attingham and the other in Ruyton. The yellow fungus is Tremella mesenterica, the Yellow Brain Fungus, and is mainly seen in winter, when it appears on fallen branches of deciduous trees.

Three beautiful shots Amelia. Isn't macro great, giving us a chance to have a close-up view that we wouldn't normally see.

Thanks for introducing me to the Yellow Brain Fungus, Amelia. Drinking coffee is one of the best protections, I think…and doing crosswords…and…er…something else.
A vivid photographic find!

This week has shown me fungi and mushrooms that I have not seen before. Once again, have learned something new here in the group! Like the way the leave is providing protection for those in your main image!
