Back in Barton's Bush

This morning was the first really nice sunny morning we have had in a while now, so once I de-iced the car we headed back down the road to Barton's Bush. It's so close to home I can get my camera fix without having to spend too much time travelling. Last time we went there we saw some awesome fungi but that was nothing on today's lot. Not two steps into the bush and we were surrounded with fungi of all shapes and sizes.

I am getting used to the new camera now, so I feel this lot of images are of better quality that the previous ones. Again they were hand held - something I am going to change next time I go to that bush (possibly tomorrow if the weather holds).


The thing that makes it so easy is that most of the fungi that I shot today was all at eye level growing on the trees, or on branches of fallen trees that hadn't broken down too much. There was no need to get down to the ground to shoot them - great for my back.


There were several different species of fungi together, which really left me spoilt for choice. Which to photograph first? These images are just a few of what we found, I will add more over the next few days and eventually you will get an idea of the amount of fungi that is about. It really is amazing stuff.
