Scarlet Elf Cups in the woods this afternoon #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends #mycology

Trichia sp. slime mould growing in good numbers on fallen logs in a local woodland. I used the wonderful Smallrig RM03 macro light to light this shot on the Cankn R7 and Sigma 105mm #fungifriends #mycology #slimemould #slimemold #myxomycetes

A nice wee group of Oysters growing on an decaying birch log in the wet woodland adjacent to the peat bog. Even when the mushroom season seems over, habitats like this can still produce flushes as the temp and climate are held in place by the environment #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends #mycology

Holly Parachute Fungi, Marasmius hudsonii - my first time catching up with this elusive little mushroom, and a cracker it is too #mushrooms #mushroom #mycology #fubgifriends #fungi

Normally I have to travel a few miles to see any decent mushrooms, but spotted these when walking the dog and were a welcome surprise. #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends

Here's one of my favorite pictures I've taken this year. Marasmius capillaris emerging from the stalk of an oak leaf. #FungiFriends #Fungi #Macro #Mushrooms #Photography

Stropharia cyanea from unimproved grassland. Identification confirmed with the chyrosystidia staining yellow in KOH #fungi #fungus #mushrooms #fungifriends #mycology

Another little Mycena species emerging from lichen - the local peat bog is now alive with smaller fungi fruiting bodies #fungi #fungifriends #mushroom #mushrooms

A nice Mycenae mushroom growing on pine cones #mushrooms #mushroom #fungi #mycology

Spinellus fusiger on Mycena sp. mushrooms - delighted to actually get images of this mycoparasite both on the host and under the microscope #fungi #mushroom #mycology #fungus #fungifriends #microscopy

A nice little Sanderling on the shore, Holme, Northern Norfolk #nature #birds #photography #autumn

A nice Agaricus crocodilinus in a local grassland park. Also featured are spores showing 9+um size #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #mushrooms

A brief visit to RSPB Montiaghs Moss proved fruitful dgpix.org.uk/blog/montiag... #dragonflies #moths #botany #wildflowers #biodiversity #biologicalrecording

It's nice when your target moth shows up - a nicely marked Valerian Pug, quite rare in these parts #moths #mothsmatter #teammoth

Half way through the year, a quick check on how it's been - not great! Hoping it picks up now the temps are rising #teammoth #moths #mothsmatter dgpix.org.uk/blog/a-mid-y...

E. muscae in a yellow dung fly species? Or have I got this one wrong... dgpix.org.uk/blog/entomop... #mycology #fungi #fungus #pathogenic #insects #macrophotography #microscopy

Some nice moths starting to appear at out local peat bog now dgpix.org.uk/blog/moth-up... #teammoth #mothsmatter #moths #lepidoptera #nature #insects #wildlife #photography

A nice male Emperor moth on the local peat bog #moths #teammoth #lepidoptera #insects #mothsmatter #moth

Uncovered this Dark Arches larva in a clump of grass growing on my driveway - nice to see the caterpillar of this species for the first time #moths #teammoth #mothsmatter #lepidoptera #macrophotography #insects

Twin spotted Quaker - great to see the first of the year of these attractive moths #moths #mothsmatter ##lepidoptera #macrophotography #insects #photography

Spring has truly sprung here - the pear bog water boils and growls with the frogs activities. So good to see! #spring #amphibian #photography #nature #wildlife #canon

A beautiful Early Thorn moth, signs that spring and nothing season is almost here. Also a superb leaf mimic! A 27 photography focus stack: #moths #teammoth #lepidoptera #spring #photography #macrophotography

Something that may be of interest to moffers... Colin Plant, the Herts. & Middx CMR produces a very informative and entertaining newsletter, "Moth Mumblings". These can be downloaded from www.hertsmiddxmoths.uk/newsletters..... #MothsMatter #TeamMoth

Looks like steps going up the tree, what a superb image

It might be dull and cold, but the moths are on the wing finally. This is one of two fine Dotted Borders from Oxford Island NNR #lepidoptera #moths #teammoth #mothsmatter #macrophotography #photography

A selection of freshwater diatoms from a peat bog water sample. Photographed at 400x, using Omax microscope and camera system #microscopy #microorganisms #algae #diatom #citizenscience

A fine looking Chondrostereum purpureum, wonderful textures #fungi #fungifriends #mycology #fungus

Nice to see the snowdrops finely appear here #wildflowers #nature #photography ##naturephotography

A Copepod with egg sacs, 40x magnification, and photographed with Canon R7 on the microscope from a local stream water sample #microscopy #microscope #crustacean #photography

Lots of Oysters today, heartening to see that this crop survived the storm and has multiplied! #fungifriends #fungi #mushroom #mycology

A delightful little fungi, common but vastly overlooked on my local sites, Xylaria carpophila growing on beech nut cases #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Pixie cups ~ Trumpet lichen 💚 mossy trail in Gadubanud country #mushroom #fungi #forest #australianfungi #cottagecore #lichen

Can any mycology peeps help identify this for me? I have assumed Xylaria sp. but the green colour is confusing. Growing alongside Green Elf Cup on debating wood of unknown species, Northern Ireland.

3 for 1 in this shot: a springtail, an unknown larva, and the fabulous Green Elf Cup fungi Canon R7 Sigma 105mm Godox V1 Speedlite Popeshield Diffuser System Raynox DRC-250 #fungi #mushroom #fungifriends #mycology #fungus

I increasingly think the biggest short-term danger of AI comes from humans not understanding what it actually does, treating it like some sort of oracle.

Scarlet Elf Cup, a beautiful and plentiful fungi appearing now. Easily told from Ruby Elf Cup with a quick look at the tomentum on the outside using a microscope (its curly on Scarlet, straighter on Ruby)
