Looking Down



One thing about mushrooms; when they're around it gets you looking at the ground and seeing things you might otherwise miss.. And that's often where some of the most attractive patterns are found. Small leaves like those of birch usually look better than larger ones such as sycamore, more so when the latter are covered with black tar spot fungus. Birch have another advantage in that they turn more attractive colours in autumn. Though this rather fine specimen of an Ugly Milk Cap here finds this is a great place to blend in.
