Bracket Fungi taken Yeadon Tarn
Simple, aerobic organisms (such as mildews, molds, mushrooms, smuts, toadstools, and yeast) which (1) unlike bacteria can grow in low moisture and low pH environments, and have their genetic material bound in a membrane, (2) unlike plants do not have roots or leaves, do not contain chlorophyll, and do not produce their own food, but obtain nourishment from dead organic matter.
Oak Bracket (Pseudoinonotus dryadeus)
"A distinguishing feature of this orange-brown bracket fungus is that its felted surface exudes amber droplets, most noticeably towards the broad growing margin. Although commonly referred to as the Oak Bracket, Pseudoinonotus dryadeus also occurs sometimes on beech, birch and alder trees."

With a day off, Grady and I set off for a little central Illinois exploration. I had wanted to get a couple of trains on the NS Brooklyn District around Midway Siding as it was protected by bracket post signals and searchlights at both ends. I believe these signals date from when the N&W single tracked the Brooklyn District from BD Jct (Decatur) to Poag Jct (Edwardsville area). Curiously, from Winston Interlocking south became CTC but Litchfield north stayed ABS. Midway siding is roughly "mid-way" between Litchfield and Taylorville with the south switch at Raymond and the north switch at Harvel. Bonus in my book was Triple Crown train 260 rolling north past the South Siding Switch of Midway in Raymond, IL. 8320 was tugging on a monster train of roadrailers!

These lovely bracket fungi were growing on a tree at Hanningfield Reservoir Nature Reserve! I'm not doing well finding an ID! Any ideas?
Spotted this stunning bracket fungus thriving on a mossy log deep in the woods. Its layered shelf-like form, rich brown top, and crisp white rim make it look like nature’s own sculpture. Bonus: two tiny white puffballs nearby add a magical touch to the scene. Forest fungi never fail to impress!

Jervis Wood Stone Staffordshire UK 24th October 2021
The man who owns this small private wood is a menber of the fungus group. He took on a very neglected patch and is working to restore diversity. Dead wood is left lying and pathways are narrow. It has the River Trent along one side and there are Otters and Kingfishers. He has trail cams and has filmed many animal species. There are a lot of Sycamore trees at present. These are being thinned out one or two a year and native species are planted to replace them.

Scaffolding went up this week, which means the builders will soon be working on the room above the new garage, and the roof :)
