Another mushroom parasitic on mushrooms. Asterophora lycoperdoides is parasite of Russula spp. There is not much left, recognisable of the host here. October 2015

EM-1, Kiron 105mm lens.

Red Longhorn Beetle Stictoleptura rubra Female

EM-1, Oshiro 2:1 60mm macro, twin flash. from 2017.

I found a male and a female but don't have a stereo of the male, which is less colourful anyway.

Great looking shot - very effective with the antennae.

Thanks. Luck plays such a part with insect stereos. They usually move at least one appendage between frames. I had forgotten about these images.

I had omitted that it was by flash, now added.

Scarlet Tiger Moth

Another from unprocessed RAW images, this time from 30 June 2016.

EM-1, probably with the Kiron 105mm, flash.

Very nice - love these forest shots, you're certainly an expert on it! (I usually struggle with composition on the rare occasions that I shoot in environments like that)

Thanks, Klaus.

Here is a female Scorpionfly from 2016. The upper part of the background is uncomfortable to view so try to ignore it.

Thanks a lot! I love forests and it's sad that they have taken down almost all of the natural forests around here and replaced it with plantations but I happened to find this place and took lots of shots!

And by natural I mean old to very old and self planted.

Perhaps you mean what we call "Ancient Forests" in the UK and elsewhere?

I don't know about UK other than watching a few "rewilding" and "reforesting" videos on Youtube. You seem to need more forests! And to save your endemic Scots pine tree.

Over here they love to point out the arbitrary difference between ancient (untouched) forests and non ancient. It's supposedly 0.3% of all forests in Sweden. But strong industry interests overly use that figure to argue that other old and valuable forests, like the ones in my shots doesn't need to be saved. Is it similar over there?

What politicians, and many others, seem unable to understand, is that planting trees does not give you a woodland or forest ecosystem. For example, all trees need fungi in symbiosis with their roots. Fungi, slime moulds and many invertebrates are needed to recycle plant material. It takes at least centuries for these to populate woodland and come into balance.

Did you know that we have a rain forest?

"Scottish rainforest is found in Argyll and the west Highlands – where the climate is wettest. The humidity, along with the high rainfall and variety of soils, creates perfect conditions for more than 500 species of mosses, ferns, lichens and liverworts. In fact, some species have their 'world headquarters' in the area".

Not all rainforest is tropical, or even subtropical!

Indeed from what all I've seen that is correct. You can plant so called pioneer species in completely destroyed areas but then nature needs slowly take care of itself.

Over here you can see huge differences between tree plantations and self planted real forests. In the past they left seed trees for repopulation.
Now they hire Polish men to plant fast growing pine and spruce. And remove any leaf trees that that self planted.
You can imagine my laugh when huge amounts of trees got killed by the European spruce bark beetle. A big economic problem for the industry.

I did know about subtropical rainforests but not any from the UK! Beautiful pictures online.

Black Silverthorn Caddisfly Mystacides nigra

From some unprocessed 2015 RAW files.

Its blackness is not ideal for showing detail.

EM-1, Kiron 105, flash.

The first pair are cropped considerably: the others less so.

Thanks. The antennae don't work well in the first but the head does for me.

Mycena pseudocorticola or Steely Bonnet. A fingernail-size mushroom found on the moss-covered bark of deciduous trees. The extremes of colour were in the same population.

Olympus EP-2, Kiron 105mm, flash, 2014.

Toothpick, Earpick, Pine Cone Fungus Auriscalpium vulgare.

Take no notice of the "vulgare". I have seen it only once in hundreds of mushroom hunts.

Olympus EM-1, Kiron 105mm, flash. November 2014. This was the session when the diaphragm kept sticking open. I got the lens serviced after that. That was our last visit as the site was then redeveloped.
