Fungi, Tree Bark And Birds

in #hive-1949133 years ago

Yesterday I came across these fungi, which surprised me a lot as at my part of the world it's not fungi season at all. Yesterday morning there was like -6C outside, a bit chili for humans too, let alone to plants. I was literally shocked to see these as temperatures below 0 are not something they like.

I must admit, my knowledge regarding fungi is rather poor, but even so I know there are those that are tough (you're going to see some later in my post) and there are these that are not.

This one is still in a pretty good shape but not for long. I see two scenarios here. One, freeze to death if temperatures drop further or stay the same. Two, someone is going to destroy them. This is not a hidden area, it is nest to some stairs, where hundreds are going up and down daily. Let's see, time will tell.

And there was this one. I wish I knew what type these are, but I don't. These are tough ones, probably are going to survive a tough winter if needed.

I know in Hungarian it's called tapló, which is the equivalent of tinder fungus, I think. Obviously there are so many types one can be lost in finding the right one.

Back in the day when making fire every single day was a task for people, this was used to start the fire. It is also called amadou I think.

Artisans, crafters are making hats out of it. You can find those hats at the craft market sometimes.

I had some photos of a gorgeous one. It was a big white one, untouched by humans and was keeping those photos for a post. Then I don't know what's happened, but could not find the photos anymore, so I went back to the place I took them as it is not far from my home and by the time I got there, the tinder fungus was all brown, on its way to turn black and looked awful.

I don't think I can describe my feelings. It was a harsh lesson for me. Now I know to download my photos the same day to my external storage drive and keep them safe. these are occasions that may never return. Lesson learnt the hard way, unfortunately! Pay more attention next time.

While waiting for my platanus to be ready for a photo shoot, I had a close look at this one and tried to imagine how would I make a drawing of this bark.

It would be the biggest challenge, honestly or impossible. I'm not good at drawing, am just learning, but I'd give it a try.

Last but not least, a dove. There are plenty where I live, old people are feeding them, although I think that is forbidden. There is plenty of food on the ground too as people are eating on the streets and there's always crumbs falling on the ground.

Some are calling doves aerial rats but I don't agree with this label. Birds have their role in nature, but city people don't know it.

I've seen grey, white with brown spots and these blue-black ones.

I was happy to catch this cutie as it's the first one. My old phone camera was not suitable for taking bird photos. This new one is.

Sparrows are also very common here and very fast as well, which makes photographer's job very difficult. I was able to catch this one but had to use zoom as they are scared pretty fast and fly away.

Today I saw another interesting bird in front of the building but by the time I took it out my phone it was gone. I think I still have to learn how to do it as I have no experience with birds.

These mushroom like creatures are very deceptive. Thanks for sharing too.

These are treasures!! Surprisingly beautiful

Well, the fungi is indeed treasure as it's rare this time of the year. The rest is not, just birds are hard to capture.

yes, you really have to be patient with those birds..

Great stuff. We also have lots that grow on trees around here. They always impress me.

Thank you! I suppose you have more over there as the climate is different, milder temperatures. These are not going to survive through winter.

I'm not sure we have more here to be honest. I found them to be more trendy in the North through my travels.

You should be able to recover those missing pictures... Are they on a hard drive or memory card?

First there were on my phone. They I may have transferred to my external hard drive, at least that's what I thought. Then when i wanted to look for them, could not find them anywhere. So I don't know if I have deleted them from my phone, before transferring them to my hard drive, or have deleted them from my hard drive ... Have no idea what's happened 🙁

You can try a scan with ontrack... It might be able to recover deleted pictures, even if permanently deleted / formatted. The sooner you look, the better the chances.

Thank you for your help. I'm going to try it as soon as possible. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

My pleasure, please let me know how it goes? I tested it on an old memory card years ago, and even after reformatting a couple of times some files were there. It's interesting just how durable files can be sometimes :) ... I already had the data on my hard drive, was just doing it to see if the software worked.

Surprised to see so much fungi when its that cold I gues sit is hardier than me LOL

I love looking at the patterns of the bark

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

I was surprised too, even shocked as these don't resist in the cold. I guess they don't have much time left.

Thanks for reading my post. It is nice to travel virtually through these blogs.

Happy Holidays!

👍🙂👍
happy Holidays :)

Lol, that image is funny 😄
Thank you!

Hello friend, these pictures were great for you, thanks for sharing them with us, greetings

The dove gives all the style to this publication LOL.

It's interesting how people like different things. I live the dove too and hoping to take more photos if the occasion arises. It's not easy to capture birds, at all.

Yes, it is very interesting all the colors it has. And it's definitely something very difficult, but what do you take the pictures with, since some high end phones have fast shutter and at least 10 pictures per second is good for arboreal photography.

Expansion of the nature is incredible. Sometimes I can't believe how it is possible, when plants grows on asphalt, rocks or buildings.
