I joined a fungi group on facebook and the members post the most beautiful photographs of Tasmanian Fungi. On my walks with the dogs, Monty and Harry I am noticing more and more fungi.
Today I escaped from the puppy and went for a walk across the road on my own. I can not photograph any toadstools when I have Monty with me as his inner Labrador shouts at him to eat all the things and I have to be super vigilant, also he likes to lick the camera.
I did take a nice photo of his ears before I snuck off, he is getting a Kelpie twist to his ears that I find quite enchanting.
I have no idea what toadstool is what and I wont put any of these photos into the fungi group because I am more interested in the play of light and shade, the micro landscapes and unexpected surprises, rather than a scientific image.
That was my day today, a happy day full of puppy dog’s ears and toadstools.

very nice!! Do you have a macro lens? I love taking detail shots, but don’t have a macro lens as yet – I also live in a cooler environment so I gets lots of fungi too 🙂
These photos are extraordinary – works of art in their own right – i think these are awesome, beautiful and with vision
Lovely images Kim 🙂
beautiful! like little umbrellas in the woods.
Love the marvels of funghi – the textures, the shapes and the colours.
Very pretty shots. That last one reminds me of parasols.
Hi Kim – what a great time of year to get into fungi! I have totally got the fungi eyes out at the moment too…. apart form the time of year, my interest was triggered when a friend sent me this radiolab blog post with fantastic images: http://www.radiolab.org/story/lost-mushrooms-oceania/ check it out! and there so so many more awesome images on the guy’s own site if you follow the link.
David Noble regularly has amazing photos of fungi at his blog http://www.david-noble.net/blog/
Love your photos. I also love mushrooms….great shots. Vickie
