WILDFLOWERS YOU HAVE SEEN WHILE OUT WALKING

Some fungi from woodland near Emmetts NT

 

Amazing photos @Scroggin - you are also incredibly observant! Those red ones look very strange (not the fly agaric)

 

Fabulous - and very weird @Scroggin !
Not you - the fungi...

Those red ones are really bizarre, as @CarolineL says. Do you know what they are?

 

@fairygirl , I'll accept weird, I've been called worse .
The strange red fungi is commonly called ' Devils Fingers ' or ' Octopus Stinkhorn ' . We were kindly shown those by a lady photographing fungi in a local NT garden.

 

We have just finished reading Richard Mabey book The accidental garden. A good read but also we thought that we have tried to do so much for so many years . Give it a go.

 

Thanks @Scroggin - I'll look those fungi up.
I'm sure I've been called a lot worse too, and I hate to think what people would be saying if they saw me taking this pic yesterday

I've taken pix of this tree stump before, but I'd noticed the day before that someone had added the little mouse with a pumpkin, so I thought I 'd give them a little fairy to add to their display.
Very sadly, there had also been a little fairy door, and that had gone. I don't want to speculate, but if someone took that and chucked it somewhere, they're miserable ars**oles.
I'm hoping it's not worse than that, and someone's taken it for their own purposes, but nothing surprises me about humans nowadays.

 

Found these in my lawn while walking from the car this morning. On my knees taking the photographs I was joined by the 4 and 5 year old from next door who are always curiou about what I'm doing.
Names are down to Google search I get as far at it's a fungus.

The benefits of a neglected patch of grass.

 

Coral , white saddle and magpie inkcap fungi

 

s. nigrum variants, several black, one yellow. yellow one was quite tasty

 

I didn't realise nigrum was edible! There's lots round here

 

when ripe, just dont confuse it with the other two nightshades. its fun comparing nigrum individuals as they are so variable
