#75 - Peacock coloured Fungi
Walking through the woods yesterday, in the rain, we kept stopping to admire all the fungi. There are lots of clusters near the waters edge, the children call them 'mushroom cities' because they look like miniature citadels or fantasy castles with higgledy-piggledy roofs and towers. Some of the trees have fungi 'steps' climbing their trunks and when we looked closer at one particularly be-fungied tree we saw all these wonderful colours. It's called Trametes Versicolor, or commonly, Turkey Tail, but I think these blue and greens look more like a peacock's tail. Stunning.
