Today I drove to the inland woods around the town called Svetvinchenat in search of fungi stuff for this post. This place it's about forty kilometers north of my hometown. I visit this area often, but there is always something new to discover. This time I also stopped to photograph some villages on my way back, because when it comes to fungi ...
... I didn't find much. Only some jelly-like fungi on the rotting wood.
I came across this piece of the dead oak tree after fifteen minutes of rambling around the area not far from where I parked the car.
Here I noticed the first fungus. I don't know the name of the species.
In this photograph, you can see the other side of the same jelly.
Smaller twigs and branches were scattered on the floor around the relatively big log that you saw in previous photographs. On one of those smaller branches, I found this little jelly thing.
There I also found a lethargic crab spider, hidden under the bark ...
... and some different jelly stuff. Here you can see a small, compact, blob-like formation of that jelly.
In this photograph, you are watching the same kind of jelly, but the pieces are smaller and scattered on the bark. These photographs were taken with the flash on.
This fungus looked considerably darker in natural light.
Here the focus is back on the biggest branch, the one from the opening picture of this post.
These jellies look like that first one, introduced at the beginning of the post. They looked absolutely jelly-like on one side ...
... but the opposite surface looked more like the upper side of a Turkey tail mushroom.
And that's it. Not much, but much better than nothing.
As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work.
