Along the Rainbow Falls River walk is this trail, it's about 5 minutes walk in. What I liked about this particular spot was the gnarled tree trunks and roots. Who knows how long they've been growing there for or what stories they could tell about what they've seen over the years?
On the outside of one of these trees was some funky thing growing out of the trunk. I'm not 100% sure if it's fungi or some parasitic disease. I still have to narrow that down. I do hope it's a fungi, if we have the latter growing in our native forests then there is a danger that in the future we will have less and less of the things that make NZ special and unique.

I can imagine that earthy smell and the sound of birds along that trail.
Hope it's just a common n fungi
I'd ask Peter McGregor...see his blog Pohangina Pete...he could be able to ID that
What a wonderful place. It must be a nice walk
Looks like an interest place that I would love to explore.
Looks like a type of plate fungus that grows on trees
Hello, what a beautiful trail. I am pretty sure that is a fungi, maybe a type of shelf fungi . Wishing you a great day, have a happy week ahead!
So lovely!
It looks enchanted or maybe Hobbit land. I like it.
It does remind one of Hobbit land and looks like a great place to explore.
Great trail to explore!
Gosh they really are gnarly old tree trunks Amy. Hope that is a fungi not the other, that would be sad ✨
A pleasant path!
I have no idea what it is, but things like this fascinate me, too! Thanks so much for linking up to My Corner of the World!
