Walking under the trees at Perry Lakes Reserve a few days ago I spotted the huge fungus
high up in a eucalyptus tree. Fungi are fascinating.. and slightly gross at the same time :) I searched to see if I could find a name but the kingdom of fungi has a cast of millions. Has anyone seen anything like this? I love walking around the lakes and bush areas.. where there are trees the air smells so sweet and fresh 🌳 Hope you are having a good week, happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
I find their varieties in textures to be fascinating. Of course I'd have no idea which is safe versus unsafe, so I'd leave them alone entirely.
ReplyDeleteI love your description
ReplyDeleteOne tree sayeth to the other tree,"there is a fungus amungus."
ReplyDeleteIt is really neat, but I haven't the foggiest idea what kind.
The fungus is a pretty colour. It has a beautiful home there! What a great place for a wander.
ReplyDeleteI've seen something similar before but I have no idea what it's called. It looks so exotic.
ReplyDeleteFungus is such an interesting species. So many varieties. I have always wanted to see the glowing Foxfire fungus, but haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteThey aure make great subjects to photograph as you shown us. Well done, Grace.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, I also love to photograph them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.

They look a bit sponge-like. They photograph well!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one like that before. Perhaps you made a discovery.
ReplyDeleteSure Am Grateful For "dercy" Chiming In. I Am Spellbound. And Thanx To Perth, I Am Back In The Fungi Category. Oh Hey Me
ReplyDeleteCheers
...fungus sure comes in interesting colors and shape.
ReplyDeleteDo not know what the fungi is, but it does make for a great photo. Good eye catching this one. Do not worry about sandworms, they don't exist on our planet. At least I do not think they do.
ReplyDeleteI've seen big, folded fungus like this but creamy white and flatter, never yellow and spongy. This is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like mushroom (fungi) but I'm leary of them. Don't want belly ache or worst dead.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Again you made me laugh, Grace :-)
ReplyDelete"Gross" or rather "icky" came to my mind instantly.
Indeed I´ve seen it here, too. On a dying tree. Probably thanks to said fungus! (I have no name, though)
That fungus is a fair way up the tree ... golly did you climb the tree to get the shot.
ReplyDeleteIn a strange way that fungus looks really tasty but better not eating it. Just admire.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of Australian flora and fauna!

Impressionante estes fungos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

I have seen such simular fungi here too sometimes, we call them "fairy benches" :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen these too, they are weird.
ReplyDeleteFungi is fascinating.

Poetry in your words! Beautiful old trees.
