Here’s an interesting fungi I found this morning. This particular kind turns dead wood an amazing blue/green color.
This one wasn’t as bright as ones I’ve seen in the past. You can look up the family this belongs to for better examples.

If memory serves this was at about 32 metres, where everything looks blue but I like it.
