  • 'Foxfire' or 'fairy fire', is the bioluminescence resulting from fungi present in decaying wood. The fungi contain the enzyme luciferase that emits light when it reacts with luciferin. The bioluminescence may attract insects to spread spores. Central Caribbean foothills, Costa Rica. May.

  • Ballerina Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis). The glossy caps of waxcap fungi make for a spectacular display in areas of old pasture land throughout the autumn and winter months. They often display striking colours from deep crimson, green, yellow and even vibrant pink as seen here in the Ballerina Waxcap. The intensification of farming practices continues to threaten the existence of these grassland gems as they require land that is unploughed with no artificial fertilisers and generally low in nutrients. Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK. September.

  • Two dead flies infected with Entomophthora muscae, an entomopathogenic fungus that causes a fatal disease in flies. Following infection, the fly dies in five to seven days. When critically ill, the host often crawls to a high point and then straightens its hind legs and open its wings, maximising the spread of spores to new hosts. The flies shown here have by chance succomed on the underside of a second fungus, a large bracket fungus known as a Dryad's Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus). The fungus was over two metre's up a tree trunk and an excellent point for spore dispersal for both fungi depicted here. Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK. October.
    AH_Entomophthora muscae_5279.jpg
  • 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.
