Fascinating day with exploring fungi in Epping Forest. The assortment of tiny mushrooms you wouldn’t normally notice unless you get up close was fascinating. The crazy network of mycelium connecting and transferring nutrients to and from roots of trees is mind blowing. The black threads in the first photo are mycelium. Included in the photos are birch pollypor and dead moles fingers (the tall black thin ones)which is used in anti fungal compounds. Fascinating!
