What a find!!! You really do know ‘how’ and ‘where’ to find them Dennis!!!!Lovely little fungus!!!

G’day Deb,
It’s all a matter of just “getting out there” and spending hours walking ‘n’ looking and hopefully not stepping on one before you see it. A bit of local knowledge also helps and that is where being a member of a camera club has come in very handy.
My fungus and I thank you very much for your great wrap for this shot of the world at our feet.
