Here is a strange fungi growing on a leaf. This fungi has distorted the leaf shape. I believe this fungi is called Puccinia urticata aka Nettle Rust Fungus, I wish I had my macro lens to zoom in and show its cup-like coral reef shape.

Here is the distraction that caused me to have a late #fungifriday post. I believe its a baby sparrow and it needs to be fed at least once every hour.

Now back to the fungi. Here is some crown tipped coral. Sadly I found this too late to harvest. Once the tips become brown then it becomes too tough and bitter to eat.

Here is a dead birch tree with lots of hoof fungus growing off the side.

I read an article a long time ago about how chaga mushrooms actually feed off hoof and shelf fungi. So who knows this might become a chaga mushroom one day.

Here is a strange polypore fungi. It kind of resembles a Dryad's Saddle but it is too small and the pores underneath look different.

Here is what the pores look like underneath. Maybe its a hexagonal polypore of some kind...

Here is a bit of a UFO. I suspect it might be a young Pholiota squarrosa the scaly stem and cap seem to point in that direction.

Now for some six foot tall ferns. When I see ferns this large I know the area is good for fungi variety.

That's all for this #fungifriday happy hunting :-)
