Brunch with Battutah
Blue fungus
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 13 June 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A photo taken by my daughter, Kika. We usually sit on these logs around an open fire in our garden. But covered in fungus, they make better ornaments than seats.
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
She takes after her Dad, a good photographer. I don't think I have ever seen blue fungus before. Very attractive.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
We have some such logs in the neighbourhood, by the farms.....but the colour of the funfus there is brown! I must admit that blue is more attractive!

@Shaahin: Thank you, Shaahin.
@mosleh: Thank you, Mosleh.
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
What a fantastic find! They look like part of some imaginative sculpture or, as least, shells for the sea. Would not have seen them as fungi without your narrative. Great pic, Kika!
