Fungi & Slime Moulds

Fungi are a separate kingdom of living things, different from animals and plants. They feed on organic material, reproduce by means of spores and present themselves in a variety of beautiful shapes, sizes and colours. Slime moulds are a group of single-celled organisms that live separately and come together to reproduce. They are not part of the fungi kingdom but their fruiting bodies often suggest they are related. All these images were taken in, or close to, Stratford sub Castle.
