Retirement is suiting me. Nowadays I have time to indulge all my weird and wonderful obsessions and at this time of year fungi forays are high up there on the list. May I totally confess that I am very shallow when it comes to fungi...I want colour, glitz, whacky forms or at the very least something which does something like produce an ink/milk/blood ooze when you draw your nail across it or a dramatic explosions of spores. I am enjoy seeing fungi in all its forms, but it's things such as this one which I'm in the market for. The Devil's Fingers...most appropriate for the upcoming All Hallows season. Perhaps one year I might get to see the Dead Man's Fingers variety too [here's hoping eh!]
Quite extraordinary isn't it. We've been on two free fungi walks this past week and seen many wonders, but this is one of the ones we all brag about😂 I wish I could claim I found it, but alas I would be fibbing. We were taken off the beaten track to an area of land where there is no public access and shown it by the organiser. There are many on my list that I would love to see, but I had made my peace with the fact that I was only ever destined to drool over other people's photos of it. What a fabulous surprise to end our foray.
