It would be fair to say that my fungi-finding year was fairly dismal: only about 20 of this year’s 366 blog posts were about fungi. The highlight, though, was brilliant – the vibrant, intense, almost unreal blue of the Cobalt crust (Terana caerulea) that I posted about earlier this month, in Not just any stick. I haven’t yet been back for a second look at it – I’ve been saving that for a New Year treat!

That’s amazing – what makes it that colour? Does it absorb a metal from the wall?

It grows on wood, Val – no metal involved. The colour is caused by a chemical process I don’t understand (wiki has some info under ‘chemistry’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terana_caerulea).
