Creoidotus cestatii has to be one of my favourite fungus. When seen from above it seems so common and innocuous, just a white crust attached to the underside of a dead twig. But once turned over and viewed from its lower surface it becomes a fabulous combination of shapes and colours, gills and swirls, love this! Putt Woods nr Faversham

I always love mushroom gills - to me, the underneath of a cap can be even more beautiful than the top. I was rather intrigued by the pattern on the stalk. Seen on 3rd August last year, on a hike at Marston Creek, Kananaskis.

Because fungus is challenging to find and photograph, fungi photos are less common than flower pics, but they're just as beautiful.
