Rhytisma acerinum (tar spot) on sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) leaves. It's a relatively harmless parasite and at the same time a bioindicator of low air pollution. Kicin, Wielkopolska (western Poland)

It's always fascinating to see slime molds taking over plants as they crawl around for food. It's like seeing an alien life form

A fuzzy wild blackberry leaf and its stem are covered in a wet, slimy, yellow substance - a slime mold. Short, lumpy strands of the yellow slime mold dangle from the edges of the leaf. Each spike is almost entirely smothered by the slowly crawling yellow slime.

I think it's a moth larvae, maybe a yellow underwing. It's very early. Is spring starting here already?

Looking across a leafy hiking path through a forest blanketed in mist. The sun struggling up over the hill beyond the forest.

Photo of liverwort reproductive structures. Five light green stalks rise from dark green pieces of liverwort thallus/body. At the top of the stalks are light green capsules holding round, brown spore capsules that kind of look like eyes.

Neither a mountain nor a molehill, but something in between. Yesterday I explored around the base of the Vermilion Cliffs east of Kanab, UT, and checked out the many moods of the Chinle Formation.

I was not expecting to find these beautiful parasitic fungi today, but I think such unexpected discoveries are what draws us to the woods in the first place! Here’s a few angles of Tolypocladium longisegmentatum! Now get out there and discover something for yourselves! #Mushrooms #FungiFriends
