Amy, I had to Google the info on this as I've never seen or heard of it before. Really interesting reading about this jelly- like fungus. Thanks for this pic. : o )

14 Jan, 2011

 

That's brilliant, Amy, it really is a striking colour. I wonder if it has appeared because of all the heavy rain recently. Glad you enjoyed your walk.

14 Jan, 2011

I'm so glad you pointed it out to us Gee , I might have missed the chance to see it , maybe the rain did have something to do with it ? there were several clumps on this tree , I enjoyed the walk very much and to spot this as well was the icing on the cake . or should I say Witches Butter LOL...
I hope you all didn't mind seeing it twice , Gees and mine !

Janey .. LOL.......

What a glorious colour and so pretty, I feel at home with the witch bit how unusual though.

Wow Amy, that is so 'other worldly' isn't it. Would love to see one myself.
(Lol Sixpence - can you do the nose-twitching thing like Samantha? http://www.fanpop.com/spots/elizabeth-montgomery/images/6342050/title/elizabeth-samantha-bewitched-photo ) :-)

It's something you don't noticed until it's pointed out to you David and then you start looking as I did after seeing Gees photo , this was in an old wood with lots of fallen rotten trees , although it is maintained there are new bird boxes fixed to several of the trees ....
I wonder what you have growing Linda , maybe it would be nice with bacon ... :o))

20 Jan, 2011

 

More like poison with bacon methinks LOL. We used to have field mushrooms and a blue fungi that grew on rotting wood in the field when we had the smallholding and we ate both.

Yikes , I don't much like the sound of the blue fungi , I wonder if they were Wood Blewits they are blueish and you can eat them .... I use to pick the Field mushrooms but I'm not so keen now they have a lot of maggots in them .. ;o(

20 Jan, 2011

 

think they were blewits Amy. I can remember cooking field mushrooms and finding the maggots too. WOnder how many I digested in the past.....
