Here are some photos I took yesterday....




It's fungus on a tree, but it came through light enough that it reminds me more of something underwater
Another view, and..


Fungus with green fungus on top!

I did think it was something underwater at first. Neat pics!

Great effect. I thought it was coral of some kind and was wondering where you'd gone scuba diving! ;p

Cool oyster mushrooms! My background is in fungi, so I could probably give the scientific name if you wanted.

I thought that was coral at first. I especially like the last picture.

Cool pics! Fungi looks alien to me!! And I did think it was underwater at first!!

Thanks :)

Yeah, when I took the shot, I thought 'coral reef'. If only!

The lighting just caught and it appeared like that. No futzing with Photoshop or anything.

Ah, yes, please do. :) Now I know what they are.

Thanks :)

Thanks. Oh hey, cool icon.

It's most likely Pleurotus - wikipedia has a pretty good entry. I would not, however, eat them just on a casual ID.

Thanks! It's from one on my pics - a male blackbird having a bath in our back garden!
