At the end of the walk on Saturday I came across a stack of logs by the side of the path. On the exposed cut ends of many of the logs there were colonies of fungi which as you can see from the first two pictures were thriving in their exposed position. As well as the curling fungus you can see the rough texture of the wood which has a mossy appearance.
The title of today's post refers to the final picture of the pattern of the rings which given the shape and varied colours has the appearance of a rainbow. From a distance the end of these logs appeared smooth particularly due to the glossy sheen from the recent heavy rainfall, however close up you can see that it is actually very bristly, a bit like a coir door mat.
