It's
#FrohawkFriday
, the day we celebrate the butterfly studies & artwork of FW Frohawk. Today features our very own mini-morpho in our midst, the perfectly fabulous Common Blue. It's a widespread species, found almost right across Britain, and a total delight to encounter.

I like how the Turkey Tail is bang in the centre of this stump and the other fungi are arranged in a swirl. Thereโs some tiny Grey Disco sprinkled in thar too. ๐

Chilly end to the year. Even on a misty and grey day you can find little spots of (frosted) colour.

I was on the bus, stood behind a very distinctive-looking girl I'd known since we were both kids and greeted her by prodding her on the shoulder and saying "Alright, dickhead?" It wasn't her.

A woman in town would sometimes be super friendly and say hello and other times just totally blank me. Talking to another neighbour I found out they were twins who both lived nearby.

Think this goo is Crystal Brain fungus. It was oozing out of lots of downed trees in one part of the woods. ๐

Saw a new slime mould today, possibly a Stemonitus. Checked it again a few hours later on the way back and the ends had small red drops.

Not sure of the species and different stages but the Slime Mould Stump now has a longer red sample and a pinkish lightbulb similar to the previous white, yellow and brown versions.

Thereโs been fewer colourful mushrooms around as winter arrives so it was nice to pass a little group of bright yellow waxcaps. ๐

This was a fun find today! I believe these are Insect-egg slim mold, Leocarpus fragilis, hanging out on the upper reaches of the stipe of this likely Red Pinwheel fungi, Marasmius plicatulus.
