A Walk in the Creek Reserve.

With the recent good rains and the still warm autumn weather, it's the ideal conditions for the growth of various fungi. I photographed these three this morning in the local creek reserve. I just love the contrast between the bright orange colour of the fungi and the almost black colour of the wet tree stump.

 These white fungi look almost sinister, but again the contrast between the almost totally white colour of the fungi and the damp leaf litter is very stark.
I just love this photo, the orange fungi has been eaten into by some animal or insect, but it stands proudly on top of the decaying tree stump, growing in a small fissure. The texture of the worn old stump is wonderful!
