Wonderful World Wednesday - Jelly Fungus

It's been awhile since sharing some Wonderful World Wednesday with you so we're here to show you one of our favourite finds over the Autumn...... JELLY FUNGUS!!

 

 

While walking around Holly Bank (Tasmania) we found these wonderful, bright Jelly Fungus. I came across THIS so I'm fairly certain that this is what it is! How fabulous is that colour!! You can even see the different stages of growth, from the tiny little "bud" to the longer stalk, flattened, fan looking top! God is soooo creative, I LOVE IT!

Lichen looking - Mountain habitat

I took the children on a local walk to the Gorge to look for some more Lichen as part of our Mountain habitat. We found some great samples of different types and the walk did us all good after sooo much rain!

 

 

 

 

 

It was soooo fun to see the children get excited when spotting the lichen growing around, I loved to see there enthusiasm in what they found! Can't wait to do more field trips next term!

Fungus finding { woodland/forest habitat}

With our animal study each week we have looked at a different habitat, this time around it was the Forest or woodland. We took the children to one of our favourite places, Holly Bank and went searching for Fungus and for Lichen. We found some great specimens and had a wonderful family time out too!
