A land before time! Also, your descriptive narrative is very engaging..."where the mist hangs in the air and the temperature drops". That's a song lyric!!! LOL. Good stuff joe!

So cool. I love the ‘traffic jam’ at the end of the video. So very ‘kiwi’. Grin. The devil’s fingers are fascinating!!! (I’ve seen some luminescent fungi here in Borneo. It’s wonderful having guides who stop and point out these things.) Another excellent post. Thanks so much.

I loved reading this, there's something funny about putting a cat's tongue fungus next to a kiwi coin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha! I got into the habit of using coins for scale when I was in Malaysia. NZ has some pretty cool coins - I wanted to use a 10c piece (a Māori carved head (koruru)) - next time!

Yeah the MNS foray was the first time I’d seen that too! It’s so fun I love it, much better than a ruler etc… can’t wait to see those photos!
