Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Fungi Serendipity

Now that we live in the countryside; this year, for the first time, I’ve had the opportunity to observe the life of fungi. During the past couple of months, my daily walk in the woods with the dog usually reveals a few new specimens each time.

So when I saw this article by Carl Zimmer on Stinkhorns, I stopped and read it. And a link in the comments on the article led me to the Cornell Mushroom Blog.

    I’ve always been a fungi fan myself, but that article on the stinkhorns was amazing. These fungi types are like some weird lifeforms from a science fiction film – forcing insects to climb to the top of stalks and so on. Fascinating.

    Gelert, yep, they’re my photographs. It’s just a hobby of mine. All my photos are under a Creative Commons license that makes them available to others to use for non-commercial purposes. They’re all up on Flickr here.
