Flowerless Flora Friday. Well this was a first.........not one flower, well not in the true sense.
Today I went out hoping to find some fungi, as now (autumn) is usually fungi time. Luckily flowers weren't my true target as I didn't see one flower on this nearly 5km walk and I was starting to worry that today's episode would be a blank sheet. It was an interesting walk and as one of the dominant trees was the cabbage palm, which meant rain forest and that also meant ferns, so I was able to find enough to keep me occupied.
I have little idea as to what species the fungi are, so they are all just 'Fungi'.

You certainly found some fantastic looking fungi. Loved the ferns as well. That hairy caterpillar is simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteFungi do have a bit of a 'wow' factor about them. Can't have the flying jewels without the hairy ones.
