Mushrooms Mushrooms Everywhere
No prizes for guessing where I found these mushrooms! Yep, that's right in one of my favourite places of all, the golf course in Oughterard, County Galway.
I sometimes head out to play some holes alone to practice and that's when I manage to stop and croach down and snap the mushrooms.
For first time readers who are wondering what Fungi Friday is, I'll say this, we've got Three Tune Tuesdays for the musically inclined. We have Beer Saturday for those who like a brew on Saturday night after a tough weeks work. Then there are Fridays, another favourite day of mine and Fridays mean Fungi Friday. It's getting to the time of year when I'm seeing loads of mushrooms on the golf course and elsewhere, they seem to thrive at this time of year when it is damp and not too cold yet.
As soon as I saw these mushrooms on an a recent practise round, my thoughts immediately turned to @ewkaw and Fungi Friday.
Here are some more photos this week's specimens. I love how smooth and perfectly formed they are.
I love nature. We can learn so much from her. Indeed humans have learned much from nature. Many of our inventions and innovations are inspired by nature. Would we fly in aeroplanes across the world if we did not observe birds and insects in flight?
There'll be a few of you who have no idea what Fungi Friday is, so let me set the scene for ye.
Fungi Friday
First things first, have a read of @ewkaw's weekly Friday post to hear all about it and get snapping the next time that you see mushrooms in the wild.
My golf course is great for mad looking mushrooms and it is in fact soon going to be that time of year when these guys start sprouting up around the golf course again and I always like sharing these photos as they're pretty cool if I may say so myself.
