#polypody fern

[encryptedlunacy]

Y'all ever have little clusters of miscellaneous pics you take that don't really fit anywhere but bring so much joy for the little dense ecosystems and little features of nature and stuff bc I have so many of these and the joy they bring me is ridiculous

Columbo S7E2 “Murder Under Glass” (1978)

Fern spotted at 24:46! I am not sure what kind of fern it is, though. Looks like a common polypody, but that seems like an odd choice.

Maybe it's a Boston fern...this one a few shots later definitely is, thus providing us another ultimate combo!

Bonus: a close-up on this awful and inimitably 1970s aspic situation. This episode is all about fine dining, and yes, this spread is supposed to be the height of elegance. Gag.

prof: "it's also called 'angel sweet' because it supposedly tastes sweet and was used as as a sweetener and licorice extract alternative"

me: *tastes*

Some stuff near the Menai Straits today.

A fungus of some sort on dead wood, possibly Stereum hirsutum. Gorgeous epiphytic fern, common polypody (Polypodium vulgare) on oak branches. Some sort of fancy red elf cup fungus.
