Another for #FungiFriday

Can you resist the temptation to press the buttons?

Bulgaria inquinans - black bulgar or poor man's liquorice (not edible tho)

Could this be conifer maze gill (Gloeophyllum sepiarium)?

Found in Laide Wood, Wester Ross.

Catching the sunset on Big Sand beach. A raven flew silently over my head. Special place 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've fallen deeply in love with the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 sky. Ever changing. All colours. Awe inspiring. Magnificent. Even when I'm soaked through.

Can my new job be a professional Sky Watcher? Is that a thing?

A single whooper swan on Loch na Cathrach Dhuibe in Laide Wood #WesterRoss today. It made the most lovely soft little "whoop" sounds. Maybe calling for a friend?

Rainy days are good days, especially for frogs. Today I learnt that my waterproofs are not waterproof. Soggy but grateful to be here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Invigorating & icy walk to the tumbling waterfalls at Flowerdale today. It feels so good to be outside, moving & appreciating nature. I'm deeply grateful for this time to rest & recover - finding myself again..

All weathers in one day. Sunshine, hail, snow & a very icy & invigorating wind! The changing textures on the sea loch are mesmerising.
View over the Gair Loch to the Torridon mountains.

Oh my.
Another day of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 heart-filling, soul-restoring mountains, sea, wind & ever changing light.
Hail storm coming in low from the outer Hebrides over Big Sand. We got caught in it & arrived home drenched but exceedingly happy.

Another from our walk yesterday: view over Loch Coulin to Liathach & Beinn Eighe. We were fortunate to spot a golden eagle! As well as ravens, buzzards & 4 Whooper swans.
This wild & rugged landscape offers deep peace & the opportunity for restoration

Taken on our fabulous celebration walk today - view across Loch Clair to Beinn Eighe in #WesterRoss
Crisp & cold with deep shadows but utterly glorious.
The white tops are a cap of Cambrian basal quartzite, not snow!

How scrumptious are these? 😍

Delicious textures, shapes and colours of sunburst lichen on the shoreline near Big Sand, Gairloch.

A gorgeous collection of pink ballerina waxcaps on my trail run today (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis). A very good reason to stop for a breather!

Every walk in the woods yields an awesome find - tiny mushrooms on a mushroom! A type of mycoparasite but unsure which. Host shroom was too gone over to id. But a fascinating find!
#fungifriends #FungiFriday #fungi #mycology #naturephotography
Tiny white fungal fruiting bodies, mushrooms, growing on a much larger dark brown mushroom cap. Two brown mushroom caps with tiny white fungal fruiting bodies growing out the centre. On the woodland floor.

A lovely patch of White Elfin Saddle /Helvella Crispa next to the path under beech trees. Weird with their lobed caps & fluted stems.
Please don't make this one the butt of any jokes! 😁 Once you see it, can't not see it!

Sometimes we need to go up. To gain perspective & have a 360° vista.
Expansive, beautifully peaceful & quiet apart from playful ravens & skylarks.

It was quiet in the beech woods today. Green canopy above but falling copper & gold crunchy under foot. The space to lose myself & find some peace.

There is something quite magical & joyful about these #fungi. Especially when they are so abundant. They stir the imagination & memories of fairytales...

This captivating pond has reappeared after the dry spell. It sits next to a line of old beech #trees & usually offers up gorgeous reflections as well as various #fungi treats. Clusters of glistening ink caps caught my eye. Stopping to appreciate beauty in nature is at the heart of my #trailrunning 💚

Our streams are running strong after all the rain, bringing reflections & light to the forest. Greens are holding gold at bay, for now. Seeking peace on my trail run this afternoon. Immersion in nature, welcoming back the mud!
