This tree may be dead but it’s teeming with life.
I’m sure it’s chock full of a huge variety of bugs and beetles, slugs and centipedes, and many other mini-beasties, but what caught my eye was the number of different types of fungi it was supporting.
As well as several species of gilled mushrooms, there were also various intriguing brackets, some oozing golden droplets, and a wonderfully vibrant orange Lycogala species of slime mould. Fungi may often be difficult to identify but they never cease to amaze me.
Fabulous!
Me and the good lady had a great fungus walk on Sunday.
Amanita time at Burnham Beeches, Bucks! Plus a zillion others.
But no tree quite as rich as this one.
(Last weekend it was all about the porcelains!)

Sounds like a great walk – I don’t see many Amanitas down my way. And my one Porcelain spot seems to have dried up – they are stunning fungi! 🙂
