appreciating the mushrooms
as i studied them
clear night skies
inspire frost to grace life
sunlight is revealed as tiny sparkling orbs
when mixed with frost
colors dance before our eyes
good medicine
some trees
naked
the sunlight chooses them to present, show off and reflect
finding new treasures
Basidioradulum radula, Toothed Crust fungus
like an artful mandala
Plicaturopsis crispa, a Crimped gilled Polyporales
this is the underside, the top looks like
it was growing on dead wood:

Those first mushrooms are so beautiful with their different colours and fluted undersides! How charming the frost makes everything too! The sunlight dancing through the golden leaves is a visual delight! Thank you for sharing your nature with us!
ReplyDeleteYou have a way of highlighting the beauty of nature that dazzles me. You are technique in beauty. Thank you very much for your report.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one, Tammie.

Such beauty to wake up to this morning ♥
ReplyDeleteI love your world and how you find beauty in the small things.
ReplyDeleteDear Tammie - How beautiful the assorted mushrooms! The leaves fringed with frost are so beautiful. Toothed Crust fungus looks like pale blue woolen glove though I don’t know how many fingers it will warm. Thanks for sharing these hidden beauties.

Beautifully captured, Tammie! Right on the edge of winter. Soon your photos will have lots of white and they will be beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo of the interiors of the fungi is so fabulous! Honestly, I think more times than not I gasp when I open your blog!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful your world is, as always. The last two of photos look like creatures growing in the sea floor, not on the dead wood. I went to Osaka yesterday. I saw there was a big fungi ornament displayed at the cosmetic department. It was beautiful red with white dots on it. It captured my eyes and made me think of your mushrooms. Happy day to you!
ReplyDeleteThe patterns and textures in this series are awesome! I am learning a lot about mushrooms from you, too.
ReplyDeleteI have had a super time visiting here and catching up with all the spectacular photography of the beauty around you, the skies, autumn colours, mushrooms, so much to dazzle and capture the eyes. As always l'm so grateful for all you share here, totally enchanting!

Such beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing them, Tammie.
ReplyDeleteFall really is mushroom time isn't it? Do you gather them to eat or simply admire?
ReplyDeleteYes, autumn and Spring are the two mushroom seasons for the most part. Especially if we get rain and we sure did. Some years are better than others. There are a few mushrooms i have learned and feel comfortable gathering for food. But mostly I find them fascinating, beautiful and joyful to see.
