Up To The Gills

I woke up to misty murk so I thought I would get in a nip up to a corner of Epping forest that I think is particularly atmospheric.

After taking pictures of the forest grandeur I sat on a log with my thermos and noticed a fallen tree covered in these fungi. On close examination I thought they were quite beautiful and deserved a photo of their own. I didn't have a macro lens with me  but the light shining through them was magical. So much so that I half expected to see little fairies dancing on themPerhaps I will go back with the Nikon which has a 105mm to go with it.
