  • Fungal mycelium growing over a decaying oak leaf from the forest floor. Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, UK. January.

  • Fungal mycelium from an unidentified species of fungus, growing across a decomposing leaf. The mycelium is the vegetative part of the fungus and is made up of a mass of thread-like hyphae. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. May.

  • Fungal mycelia from an unidentified species of fungus, growing across a dead beach leaf. The mycelium is the vegetative part of the fungus and is made up of a mass of thread-like hyphae. Peak Disrtict National Park, Derbyshire, UK. November.

  • Fungal mycelium from an unidentified species of fungus, revealed underneath the bark of a rotting tree branch. The mycelium is the vegetative part of the fungus and is made up of a mass of thread-like hyphae. Peak Disrtict National Park, Derbyshire, UK. October.

  • Ash dieback management, involving thinning out young stressed / diseased ash trees and replacing with other native species such as small-leaved lime and wych-elm. Lathkill Dale National Nature Reserve SSSI. Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK. May 2019.

  • Fungal mycelium growing in decaying wood. For much of their lives, fungi can be hidden from view, only revealing themselves when they produce fruiting bodies to release spores. Digging down into damp woodland leaf litter or gently peeling back the bark on section of decaying log will quickly reveal a mass of fine thread-like structures, the fungal mycelium. Constructed from thousands of tiny tubes known as hyphae, the mycelium enables the fungus to absorb nutrients from the environment.  Mycelium is central to nutrient recycling and itself is vital food source for a huge number of invertebrates. Derbyshire, UK. August.

  • A cleaved sample of a crustose lichen growing on limestone. The image has been hand-coloured to reveal the different structures in the image, which was originally a grayscale scanning electron micrograph. The grey areas are limestone, the orange are fungal threads and the green shows algal cells. The fungal threads anchor the algae in place, close to the surface of the lichen to optimise their position for photosynthesis. Lichens are best thought of as miniature ecosystems, the overall structure and scaffolding produced by multiple fungal species and the interior housing algae or cyanobacteria, yeasts and other microorganisms in a mutualistic arrangement. Youlgrave, Derbyshire. February. False-coloured scanning electron micrograph, produced at the University of Derby. 0.14mm across in real life, x715 magnification when printed at 10cm across.

  • Signal Crayfish {Pacifastacus leniusculus}, a species introduced to the UK from North America. Signal Crayfish can transmit a fungal disease 'crayfish plague' to native Birtish white-clawed crayfish, posing a serious threat to the species. Even if they don't carry the crayfish plague, the signal crayish are far larger and more aggressive than the native species, and can easily out-compete them. Derbyshire, UK.

  • A male harvestman {Opiliones} in his mud nest constucted on the side of a fallen rainforest tree. Females actively court the male in his nest where they mate and deposit eggs. Eggs from several different females may be deposited in the nest. The male then guards the eggs from predators such as ants and keeps it clean, eating fungal hypae that could threaten the eggs. Central Caribbean foothills, Costa Rica. May.

  • Bridal Veil Stinkhorn (Phallus indusiatus) growing on rainforest floor. The fungal fruiting body gives off a pungent odour that attracts a wide range of invertebrates, which help disperse the spores. Manu Biosphere Reserve, Amazonia, Peru. November.
