The Purple Jellydiscs, with their whimsical fruiting bodies, have chosen an unlikely canvas - a deceased tree - to showcase their extraordinary beauty. As if plucked from a fairytale forest, these unusual fungi add a touch of magic to the tranquil landscape. Their vivid purple hues stand out against the muted autumn backdrop, creating an otherworldly contrast that is simply mesmerizing. It's as if Mother Nature herself decided to sprinkle some joy on this picturesque scene! The River Ribble plays host to these delightful jelly-like discs, seemingly dropped from above by mischievous woodland sprites.

These rare mushrooms belong to the Helotiaceae family and are known for their distinctive shape and texture. So take a moment to marvel at this marvelous natural wonder – nature's very own popsicles! Let your imagination run wild as you envision tiny creatures savoring these delectable treats or perhaps even using them as stepping stones across the river. After all, in Yorkshire Dales National Park, where weird meets wonderful and bizarre blends seamlessly with beauty, anything is possible!
