    1. I am lucky to live but 5 minutes walk from the woods, and they are a treasure trove as you say. Even after all these years they can offer up something new 🙂

  1. They look like little albino froggy hands reaching for the sky. I ordered my Raynox yesterday and it’s already on its way. Did you use yours for this one?

    1. Although this fiungi is quite small, I di not need to use the Raynox and the Sigma 105 did the trick on its own. I hope you have lots of fun with your Raynox! I tried it out on mosses at first to get the hang of it.

    1. I love seeing these, and was lucky to find a clump of them in my local wood. They are found on the dead wood of deciduous trees, mainly on the stumps of cut beech. I hope you get to see them.

  2. Your comment about these blackening put me in mind of the Indian pipes I found in the east Texas woods. I was lucky enough to get back in time to see them even more abundant, and well in the process of decline. They also move from white to a slick, entirely unattractive black. It’s interesting that this woodland plant does the same.

  3. They would be cool in a Christmas arrangement but probably wouldn’t survive. They remind me of the Indian Pipes that grow in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens … even though the Indian Pipes are not a fungus but a plant without chloroform.

      1. All hunky dory – behind the mask!
        Glad to hear you’re okay, Pete. Enjoy the break, no matter how long it is!

      2. Happy all is well with you there, Ark. I think we may be wearing the masks for a while longer here. Main thing is to stay safe and be well. Cheers!
