Beautiful post, I really love the look of those woods, the colours are gorgeous in autumn. Polypores have always been one of my favourite fungi, they are so pretty. I found some bright orange ones the last time I was at Tsitsikamma forest and took way too many photos of them lol., they got all the camera love that day.
I always enjoy coming across your adventures, you seem to find interesting things.
Have a good one.
