Searching for fungi


Out and about in the woods at Creagan Hill, part of the Glen Creran Special Area of Conservation. We're revisiting the management of this area, looking to get an acceptable balance between grazing and woodland regeneration. I also took the chance to look for glove fungi in the hazel that forms a part of these woods. There was plenty of fungi, but no sign of the elusive glove.





The fungus in this shot is a bit obscure: the oak leaf is probably held in place by a glue fungus.
Glue fungus are often associated with hazel glove fungus.



..and finally, one that was not on a hazel tree: the birch polypore
