Close up of the frilly branchlets of comb tooth fungus. Might be hericium ramosum, or might be hericium coralloides. Either way, it is definitely of the genus Hericium, the comb tooth fungi.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Everyday carry". This is something I carry every day - a comb! I have included my comb and its backup, to make a more interesting picture.
The weather yesterday morning was not great so I figured a recce at a new location was the best way to spend the morning. I only took a few shots, mainly for reference but this little cascade caught my eye so I took a little bit more time over this composition.

Comb-crested Jacana are such quirky-looking birds yet have subtly beautiful markings as well. We spent many hours photographing this species on our trip up North a few months back.
Combs Moss is a Kinder Scout-esque plateau just to the North of Buxton and like it’s bigger brother can be circumnavigated fully, with great views all around.
The Venus Comb is a marine gastropod of the genus Murex native of the coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific area. I aquired this shell in 1973 while serving in the Air Force stationed in Guam.

Comb crested jacana at Corroboree Billabong Northern Territory Australia. I think this is the best photo that i have taken of one of them.
Although on a much smaller scale the combs and wattles on this Chatsworth House cockerel are as impressive as deer antlers! And I think "The Combs and Wattles" would make such a cool pub name!
... four brand new combs were hanging from the lintel - what a pity we couldn't have kept it like this as an observation hive. It was joke - but his wife hesitated for a moment as I showed her returning foragers doing their famous figure-of-eight dance. Out of the shower and into a bit of naked bee observation - not something you can often do! But he was not convinced. he wanted them out and I set about trying to transfer the colony to a hive ...

One of my most wanted targets on our trip to The Kimberleys were these Comb-crested Jacana. Lily Creek Lagoon is well known for its bird life, particular these peculiar waterbirds.
I had no idea what I would witness on our first evening at the lagoon!
I was watching one particular Jacana fuss about a specific spot on the lagoon. After a few minutes, she started calling. Within seconds, her partner was on the scene & ready for action! Over the next minute or two I watched the male awkwardly try & stabalise himself on his partner's back, which was clearly a tall order with those fantastic feet! While those feet are an asset for walking over lily pads, they present somewhat of a challenge when attempting to reproduce!
This image was moments before the male made several attempts to mount the female.
These Jellies are always a challenge to capture because the tank is so dark and they move quite a bit. I captured this one a little while ago and found it in the archives.
Suitably less wild on the Jurassic Coast this morning, after yesterday's storm.
Popped down to West Bay and enjoyed a gentle sunrise at the edge of the harbour. I like how the water gets combed as it withdraws from the nooks and crannys of the girders here.
A lovely morning, with some nice light, for a change.
Have a great weekend :)
