Last week, I shared an installment of some fungi that I spied when out walking in the woods during the Christmas holiday. Today, I am sharing some findings from our New Year's Day walk. We returned to the walk of 2 days before but earlier in the day to avoid walking in the dark at the end AND to go a bit further.
I got a little lost in the woods and lost my companion whilst I er- spent ages photographing fungi. I always see more when I am on my own! Couple me with an impatient jaguar and I see very little.
The first example, from a distance, looks JUST like Cashew nuts. In fact, the way they were spread on a log, if you weren't on FUNGI ALERT, you would have just dismissed them as such. But up close, they are known as Common Earthball fungi. Not, Cashew Nut fungi!
