Category: Fungi, Lichens & Mosses

A pair of Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea), captured in my backyard on a grey and moisty day. This parasitic fungus can do immense damage to forests, attacking both coniferous and broad-leaf trees. By the time the fruit bodies are in evidence, the damage internally is usually so great that the tree is doomed. They probably caused the death of some of my plum and cherry trees a few years ago, so I subsequently removed the 'culprits' after taking this shot.
