Five photos of my everyday life, in black and white. Day one, fungus.
My gardens have just had a professional makeover. The gardener re-made four identically shaped gardens with the same range of plants repeated in each. But in one of them, under and around a grevillea, a leathery tan fungus is growing, apparently not a bad thing. It’s possibly a saprophytic cup fungus feeding on the rotting forest litter used as mulch. I just spotted it a couple of days ago. It’s a real head-turner and typically evokes this reaction: Whoa, what’s that?
Ken, anevolvingscientist.org, came up with this photo challenge. Many thanks!

Thank you for the attribution, Trish. Maybe I should join this as a blog challenge. It was originally a Facebook challenge, which I received from a close female relative 😉
What a fascinating photo Trish 🙂
I took advantage of your challenge to test my blog’s ‘publish’ function. Again. Another of my subscribers says she hasn’t received any messages, so I’ve changed a couple of things and now I’m testing it.
Thanks Cathy!
Cool Mum! It makes cool patterns. I do wonder what colour the fungus is though 😛
Thanks for your cool comment, Josh! It’s camel colour.
I’m doing it on Fb true! 😉
I prefer the mushrooms in colour; much more powerful I reckon 😉
