Cup Fungi

Post by Ken Ramos »

Winter time is the perfect time for these tiny cup or ear fungi to form on many decaying organic and non-decaying organic substrates. :D

We had a couple of days of a slow, steady and much needed soaking rain and now these little things are popping up everywhere. :D

Thanks Nikola and Joan. Yeah there isn't much around this time of year but these are always cropping up somewhere. I am going to mash one and see what the microscope reveals later on. :D

A great winter find and beautiful pictures Ken. The lighting came out very well IMO..Not to much glare on the wet surfaces and filling in a lot of the structure.

Thanks Doug. These things come in all sorts of different colors but mostly what you see here. Sometimes I do come across bright yellow ones. :D

Things have quietened down for the rest of the year Jim. Spending more time with the microscope these days. Thanks :D
