Mushroom Hunt: Effused Conk.

From Charly: I do not know the species, but I think this is a conk and as far as I am able to find out about English nomenclature, it has so called effused fruit body. Czech name could be translated as “spilt conk” which nicely describes its formless growth resembling spilled mushy substance, like oatmeal.

Mushroom Hunt: Mysterious Pom-Poms.

From Charly: Another species I completely failed to identify, although it looks very interesting – like white pompoms growing out of rotten wood. They’re furry! Click for full size.

Mushroom Hunt: Bitter White Conk.

From Charly, who notes: This a conk for which I could not find any common english name, so I translated the czech one. As the name suggests, it is inedible (bitter taste) and it is white when fresh. These conks are probably towards the end of their life. I have only seen this one specimen and I do not remember seeing it too often. Latin: Oligoporus stipticus. Click for full size!

Looking for Autumn.

Autumn is the perfect season to get your wanderlust juices flowing and get lost in the moody forests, camp along the winding rivers and capture the nature before it all turns grey. We did just that by roaming Gauja National Park in Latvia.
