Fungi at Moana


Autumn is the best season here to see different types of Fungi. B and I drove out to Moana last week and completed a 30 minute bush walk.  I think this one above is called Velvet Foot aka F. Velutipes.


Orange pore fungus aka F. Calocera and is the same below.



This white one is Bird's Nest Fungi aka N. Niveotomentosa.


Bird's nest fungi aka N. Niveotomentosa. 


This little Piwakawaka aka Fantail followed us around on the way back - they are very curious birds.



Native fungi common throughout the Tasman area aka Gloeoporus Plebophorus.

Sometimes we get the little blue Fungi on bush walks but the last time we saw those was at the Arnold Dam River Walk in 2024.

I've developed a real passion for the colours and shapes of fungi and the places they thrive. These are fabulous.

You saw a lot of fungi. That's something we see rarely here. It's just too dry.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
