These are very common these days. But they look rather inconspicuous and only reveal their charms when you look at them up close. Die sind aktuell sehr häufig zu finden. Sehen aber eher unscheinbar aus und offenbaren ihre Reize erst wenn man sie aus der Nähe betrachtet. Stack with 28 single shots.

Mushroom hunting at the Cambridge botanic gardens today. A nice way to start the year. Or spend the second day anyway.

Taken on my phone (Sony Xperia 10 II) with a clip on macro lens.

Happy Monday everyone!

Todays #fungifind is Candlesnuff Fungus! (Xylaria hypoxylon) 🍄

The candlesnuff fungus, also known as the 'Stag's Horn', has an erect, simple or forked fruiting body with a downy stalk. It grows in groups on dead and rotting wood, and can be found on stumps and branches of all sorts of trees.

Top tip: By keeping dead wood in your garden, you can encourage all kinds of fungi to grow, including Candlesnuff Fungus, which in turn attracts the wildlife that depends upon it.
