Owing to the lack of birds, have decided to post some of our other stuff from this week. Shouldn't think the Insects will be around for much longer. Can anyone name the 2 Fungi below. (must get a book).
Hi John. Great macro shots again. Insects can be very appealing in a strange way! The first fungi: Smokey Bracket (Bjerkandera adusta)??? I have a small book, but the pictures are not brilliant. No idea about the second one at all.
Hi John & Sue Great set of macro shots as usual, some real beauties there. I agree with Dean the first fungi is Many-Zoned Polypore, nearest I can get to the second is "Porsellain Fungus" reason being its the only one I can find with that fan like pattern on the top, and is widespread during September/October in deciduous woodlands.
Thank-you for all the comments and thanks to Dean, Angie and Monty for your suggestions for naming the Fungi,will get them done. As this is the season for Fungi we will be paying a visit to Waterstones book shop very soon.
...I love that red toadstool/mushroom...whatever it is (I know nothing about fungi). It is so striking. I would love to stumble across it in the woods. Beautiful detail on your insects too...
More amazing insect shots! You really do get some nicely detailed shots. And I see you guys have wolf spiders in your neck of the woods too. They are rather amazing to observe, aren't they, all big and hairy!
