shelter in the woods, fungus and a feather!

[troyka]

i found this really cool shelter in the woods at Weston, its built of rocks and logs, and has recently had work done on it by the look of the soil...
i don't know if its a bush crafter or young people..

i also found some fungus i dont know what it is and it seems to have made the ivy round it brown.. pics in bottom link


also anyone know what the bird was that gave me the feather in my hat?

Not 100% sure butr I think it may be a Kestrel tail feather

That looks almost like a hide. Just add a camouflage panel and poke a camera through.

Maybe ?

cheers,

Might it be a feather of the Garrulus Glandarius (Vlaamse Gaai)?

Cool looking shelter, the bracket fungus looks a little like a Ganoderma of some sort but I'm far from an authority on fungi.

It is one of the Ganodermas. Dont worry which sort, they all have loads of trauma layer and all decay the trees they are on in one way or another.
