Lichen the rocks and the mushrooms

[KittleRox 2,147]

Quartzite and Schist found in the Highlands

 

 

shiny crystals of mica in the schist gives the mountains a sparkle and shine at certain times

 

 

and other stuff

You've done it again Kittlerox, another bunch of photos I really appreciate

 

My first thought was WTF did a schiste that big, until I realised you were talking about a rock

 

The forest shots are fantastic at this time of year a look almost prehistoric

 

The horse foot fungus, is something I use to make amadou for drying dry flies, and I believe it makes excellent kindling

 

And..I have never seen moss completely covering a standing stump before! First of all I thought it was someone from the airgun section showing off a new ghillie suit they had made :laugh:

 

Thanks for showing!

Glad you like them bud, I,ve been reading hill walking books lately and they tell you how the different rocks were formed and I find it quite interesting,

as for the forest shots I think thats the most moss covered place I,ve seen, what I think would be classed as British rainforest, definately a bit different,

and the stump did catch my eye as well atb
