In support of the awesome & beautiful hash-tag #LichenSubscribe

Here are some photos from recent wanderings around our #Rewilding land.

Even on these wet & windy Irish winter days, colours can be found.

At this time of year the edges of our field flood, during the spring and summer these are very fertile places.

here's some very small fungal fruiting bodies

Throughout the year the fungal systems are very busy transporting and recycling nutrients throughout the soil system.

we only get to see a tiny proportion of the of fungal 'web' as ~95% of the activity is below ground but at this time of year we get to see the fruiting bodies.

One can also build an airmeter in 'wire frame' just for fun

Here's a neat little open source CO2 monitor project I'm involved with.

It uses an ESP32 with an epaper display and can manage weeks between charges.
It has a builtin webserver with graphing and it also supports MQTT

It's a pretty easy & straightforward build.
Further details here.

The real beauty is that when left alone, nature will set about occupying every part of the ecosystem.
At 'scale' it looks a bit 'messy' but here you can see the trees self -seeding.
The bramble thickets and gorse act as tree nurseries by keeping predators away from seedlings.
