Tiny worlds

One of those days when you don't know whether to point the camera up or down. Up at newly bare branches crisp against a clear blue sky or down at the colourful life forms burgeoning on stone and wood. The latter won and here are the sporophytes of bright green moss, below it, yellow lichen, top right coral spot fungus and underneath a vivid orange mushroom that I think may be Galerina.

Not only do they constitute a palette bright enough to paint with, they are all engaged in the process of reproduction employing sexual arrangements much more complicated than ours.
