Spiralling habitat
Are all the interesting trees twisted?
Might be middle earth...or a druid chapel
Some looking down now to rest those tired neck muscles, some very lovely Cortinarius sp growing in amongst the moss and leaf litter.
A fairly common but nevertheless beautiful little fungi is Coprinellus disseminatus ~ the fairy ink cap, as a saprophyte this hard working little fella is a good indication of the presence of an old stump, or large root in the ground. Interestingly the caps start out being pale cream then change to the lovely soft grey you can see.
Mr Tree and me have been saying we could do a round the world trip looking at amazing trees, on a planned route. I think we could spend considerable time round your way! Fabulous pictures.
