Wolves Wild

Mushrooms growing through the tarmac of a pavement, right up against a wooden fence.

A row of ginkgo trees, leaves turning vividly yellow for autumn. No sign yet this year of falling fruits on the one female tree in the row.

A tree trunk growing well off from the vertical, and all along it, the fruiting bodies of a bracket fungus. The views from below show the pores (not gills) where the spores come out.

Nice portrayal of a watchful kingfisher, stained glass in the doorway of a steak bar in Coventry.

More mushrooms from the Upper Precinct shopping centre, Coventry. These were blewits, perhaps field blewits.

Painted walls just off Coventry’s historic Spon Street. Creatures of the imagination. The rosy bird of prey is one of the first sights greeting anyone stepping out of one of the city’s ‘Spoons.
