I spotted these beauties the other day. It was a foggy day and they practically glowed in the mist. Silly me it wasn't until after I had taken some photos did I see the slugs crawling, or whatever it is slugs do, over the tree trunk. Applied a little selective blurring to the background on the right. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

What unusual colors to these mushrooms. Very nice image even with the slugs moving around.

Actually the slugs add an extra area of interest, Wendell. Really nice composition with excellent detail.

Hi, Wendell...

I love this shot. These fungi are truly an amazing subject. I've never seen anything like them - not even in a nightmare. Delicious looking slugs. Excellent detail with the lichens growing on the bark. This poor tree is a veritable smorgasbord.

How unusually bright and colourful fungi or lichen! The slugs must love something about them! A really cool picture!

Wendell - Give the slugs a cup of beer, to which they'll go for a swim, and they'll be a problem no more. The new turkey tails look good. Thad
