treasures of the forest
meeting you makes my heart
go pitter pat
velvety to see and touch
such unusual conks
also:
these all seem like magical creatures to me
fruits rising from the earth below
I think these are called clavaria

still finding mushrooms stored in the trees
warning
i might be on a mushroom kick for a little while

These other-worldly "creatures" are totally new to me.
ReplyDelete(And I love collecting mushrooms -- just have never seen the likes of these.) These colors, these forms.
Wow. So beautiful. I am totally captivated.
These are very captivating . I could marvel at them for hours ~ enchanting they are !
ReplyDeleteThey do look magical. I don't recognize any of them. I did see some regular shaped mushrooms today. Those fingery looking ones are great for this time of year.

Beautiful photography, Tammie! I will love to see more of it!
ReplyDeleteWhat delicate and lovely treasures you've found.
ReplyDeleteYes, very much like magical creatures, some of them even remind me of sea anemones. Quite fascinating in shape and colour. I like the little tendrils coming out from under the rock!
ReplyDeleteI love all the offerings of the forest and am a sucker for mushrooming. I find it incredibly exciting, the finding and the hoping . . .
ReplyDeleteAre you drying some for the winter??
thank you everyone for your lovely messages and visits.
ReplyDeleteArija, I do not have any dried for winter this year. I have in the past. this year i have been doubting my identifying of mushrooms and have an instinct to feel certain...
so mostly visiting with and photographing mushrooms.
Thank you for asking.
Exquisite photos! Really very beautiful mushrooms! Wonderful colors!

Awesome pictures and nature Tammie !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Thanks for taking us into the forest!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lush and beautiful!
Beautiful Tammie... I think we saw Clavaria when we were hiking this summer... we had no idea what we were looking at and I chose not to bring my camera that day, to just be present to my husband and the landscape... I will look this up now, good ol' google and see if that is what we discovered too... looked so other worldly, or perhaps as if it belonged beneath the sea.
ReplyDeleteWow...fabulous images,nature offers such wonders! These species are new to me. Thank you for sharing the beauty.
ReplyDeleteRuby

I've never seen some of these before! Some of them are totally creepily gorgeous. (grin) Fill my eyes, they do.
ReplyDeleteBring on the mushrooms. Love them!
ReplyDeleteYou are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteand so are the mushrooms!
AND your photos! :)
for my eyes it nearly looks as the mushroom came first. before the some of the stones. how fun!
