The lichen was on an old branch which had been covered by ivy. It is a really deep blue colour and felt quite sooty.
Another view of the small fungi shapes.

This shows the fungi on the log surrounded by moss. It is cup shaped and bright red in the middle although pale pink on the outside.

A very wet and windy day did not deter the Dean Green Team from felling dead trees and coppicing along a ride in the heart of the woods. A dozen deer crossed the track as our Forest Ranger traipsed back to collect the chain saw!
