Bracket Fungi

These may be less useful for the Journal quilt designs that I have in mind but they are very interesting shapes and colours. These too were found at Felbrigg.

Some were on living wood, some on dead and fallen trees or tree stumps. I loved the way the light caught the edges of the yellow one and made it glow!

Fly Agaric at Felbrigg

I went for a walk in the ancient woods at Felbrigg, a local National Trust stately home. There were some beautiful fungi there including one I'd hoped to see but didn't really expect to: the Faerie toadstool Fly Agaric:

Such a rich colour!
lovely stripey bracket fungus too..

Fungi

I've been collecting pictures of Fungi over the past month or so as I think they will be a good design source for my remaining Journal quilts. They are difficult to identify although I have borrowed a book with excellent photos...

Shaggy Ink Caps

Curly Toadstools

Clusters of custard yellow toadstools

Faerie grotto

The Faerie Grotto in Cindy's garden

They like a shady damp corner and rotting wood.
