Seems the rains and weather have made for a perfect combination and our local fungi are fruiting madly.
These photos were taken around Medlock Park in the last few months, unless noted. Alas, no information is available as to common name or species but if we have mycologists in the audience,
please help identify them and your name will be added in lights (well, pixels anyway).

At first look, one might take these ghostly apparitions for mushrooms, but this is
actually a plant, Monotropa uniflora, a.k.a. Indian pipe or ghost plant.
Lacking chlorophyll, it feeds off under grown fungi (not photographed). |
