Some close-ups, dead things, and my favorite fungus!
New Dawn climbing rose
morning glory seed pods
zinnias
My favorite fungus, Bird's Nest!
This is one of last year's "nests," and grey forms are last year's "eggs," the fruiting bodies that contain the reproductive spores. Two spores remained in the nest and are now growing. If I can find the stick they're on again I'll keep track of their growth.
The young ones remind me of little custards or puffy pancakes!
Here's more info on my favorite fungus!
...past prime and still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of zinnias, they don't grow well for me, but I always try a few. I like these dried ones better than the new!
Deletethat is a cute little fungus! How cool
ReplyDeleteOh, just wait until the "eggs" are ripe! They are the cutest things!
DeleteDefinitely a motley collection :)
ReplyDeleteYour captures bring out the beauty in nature. I have always had an interest in fungi, with such interesting shapes and uses.
