If you were brave, are some of those edible?
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe the jelly fungus (the brownish/purpleish one) and the turkey tails are edible but not very palatable. But I am not a fungi expert, so I can't say for sure.
DeleteWinter certainly doesn't look dead to me. What wonderful colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to find these things, but especially in winter. Now they're covered in snow, but that will melt again soon.
DeleteWinter LIFE for sure!
ReplyDeleteRight? I'm enjoying this mild winter. Are you, Lynne?
DeleteI love lichen! It's not something I think I've ever seen in my "neck of the woods."
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I love all these things!
DeleteThe second photo is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThe mosses here in the woods are incredible. :)
DeleteThose are all great shots, Beth. I love the architectural nature of the lichen in both color and form.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tina. The lichens are fascinating if you look closely, aren't they?
DeleteWe don't get much in my area... But I love the lime green moss during Autumn. They look pretty. Beautiful captures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I find them all so fascinating. When the ice and snow start receding, they're very pretty, too.
DeleteI love looking for fungi, mosses and lichen but get so frustrated because I can't name them, going to enjoy finding them this year and not worry to much about what they are called.. lovely photos and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I did a little research about all of these, but I'm not an expert and I don't feel confident in my IDs. But that doesn't mean I appreciate them any less. Enjoy your finds, too, Amanda. Happy New Year!
DeleteThe nature is extraordinary, beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the first picture.
Have a wonderful year.
Thank you. Yes, nature is amazing and beautiful--in all its forms! Happy New Year!
DeleteYou need to check out the Facebook group called Lichens, Mosses, Ferns and Fungi. They post incredible images from around the country and the world. Your post today would fit right in!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll check it out Linda, thanks! I imagine many of these are common in your property, too?
DeleteWow, you've assembled quite the colorful selection there.
ReplyDeleteThe woods are full of fascinating life forms!
DeleteI'd like to know how these fungi, moss, and lichens avoid going dormant through the winter. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's amazing. I think some of them kind of dry up, but then start sprouting again quickly when the weather warms up to around freezing.
DeleteBeautiful photographs! I shiver in my boots, but lots of the plants are far from dead in the winter. Some of them thrive and can't live in warmer climates. Let's face it we are wimps by comparison to these plants!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, we are wimps, for sure. The life that lives in our cold climates amazes me.
DeleteI'm likin' the lichen!
ReplyDeleteHa! Me, too. :)
DeleteBeautiful shots of fungi and lichens, Beth. P.x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. They are so beautiful, it's easy to appreciate them if we take time to notice, right?
DeleteThere is a lot out there if we just take time to look for it!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
Totally agree, Lea. And if it's not too cold to freeze off our fingers as we take the pictures. These were taken during a mild stretch in January before we had snow. But every mild day I try to observe these guys. ;-)
DeleteOMG, I didn't realize you did a moss post too! You've got some really cool ones that I've never seen. I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace. Your moss post was awesome, too! Back at ya!
DeleteGreat pictures! I love all these winter wonders that are so easily overlooked!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb. Usually it's too cold for me to enjoy winter photography, but this winter has been pretty mild.
