EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, FLPA photographer David Hosking brings us a whimsical glimpse into the enchanting world of European nature. Behold the fascinating Cramp Balls (Daldinia concentrica), also known as King Alfred's Cakes! These peculiar fungi resemble tiny disco balls scattered across a forest floor, ready to ignite a fungal fiesta. With their dark and velvety appearance, these mysterious mushrooms are sure to captivate any nature enthusiast. But don't be fooled by their charming exterior; these little globes pack quite the punch! Legend has it that they were named after King Alfred himself because they resemble burnt cakes he once left unattended on his campfire. As you gaze upon this delightful image, imagine stumbling upon an enchanted woodland party where mushrooms dance under moonlit skies. The Cramp Balls take center stage, radiating an aura of magical energy that invites all creatures great and small to join in the festivities. So next time you venture into Europe's lush forests, keep your eyes peeled for these extraordinary fungi. Just remember not to mistake them for actual desserts - although tempting, they won't satisfy your sweet tooth! FLPA Images continues to capture nature's wonders through their lens, reminding us of the incredible beauty found within our natural world. Let this vibrant photograph transport you into a realm where even mushrooms know how to have a good time!
