Notes From Her Outdoors

I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.

Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.

Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.

This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.

Wish me luck, I'm going out!

Underside 

Dyers Mazegill - Phaeulus schweinitzii. Amazing fungi, showing 2 different forms and colourways.



Small troop under pine needles, no milk drops when broken.






I have real problems with Puff and Earthballs......


I'll get to a doctor soon : )      
Shot of the stipe. Probably Common Puffball or Scaly Earthball.
