Fungi quiz

Total running time this week: 7 hours, 34 minutes
Total distance run: approx. 54.6 km

Today I ran the 10km round in the forest twice and added another loop around the little lake. All of this took 160 minutes. I started early in the morning, because this afternoon the 1. FC Köln has a home game. The forest is just behind the stadium; normally parking is for free here, but not when there is a football match. So, I wanted to be gone before they start charging the parking fee and before the spectators' cars clog up the roads.

I liked the ivy ornament on this tree. I bet, in a short while it will cover the whole trunk.

Temperatures have increased a bit over the last couple of days (this morning it was +4°C) and it has rained a lot. So unsurprisingly there were a lot of fungi to be seen in the forest today. Unfortunately I am not very good at telling them appart. I found a couple of entries on Fungi images on the net, which look similar, but it is hard to tell if you just compare pictures.

So, here is a little fungi quiz for you: Are these all the same kind of fungus, only on different logs?

The first three pictures are of the same log, so presumably it is the same fungus:

This one I found somewhere else in the forest. It was big!

And this is yet another one:

If you have any idea, what it is I have photographed, please leave a comment!

The bark of this tree looks a bit like crocodile, don't you think?

OK, let's sneak a little closer. Can you see it now?

There was also a quite impressive storm last week, which is probably the reason for this road block:

It wasn't here last week!
