I don’t claim to identify this fungus with utter confidence, but I’d hazard a guess at the Hairy Curtain Crust. No, I’m not kidding; that is its name. As with the other curtains and resupinate crusts, it becomes particularly visible in drenching wet weather. And we had plenty of that this autumn past.
Swollen squiggles… quite artistic: 1st Oct 2019
The photo above gives no idea of its size. So… this is how it looks as you pass it by…
Long shot… on a different log
Sounds, and looks especially in the close up like something that might seek to take over the world. Augh!!!!!

I knew thought of it like that. Just reminds me of white oil paint thickly spread with a palette knife. 🙂

I like the abstract image at the top. As you say, beautiful event though it’s a bit odd and swollen looking ! You never cease to amaze me how many different fungi you find

How wonderfully weird! In the close-up shot, it looks like an alien invader from a horror movie.

Yea, I guess they do. I just saw them as an artist’s oil paint, heavily laid, kinda van Gogh style. But horror movie aliens? That gives me a thought. Watch out for next week’s. 🙂
