Drumboe Wood.
Dull but warm. |
Two shots of a new rust - Puccinia circaeae. This is specific to Enchanters Nightshade.
|
Red Bartsia - Odontites vernus - is a semi-parasitic plant that grows on the roots of other plants and steals their nutrients. |
This is a female Tipula maxima - or Daddy Long Legs. Hmm...a female daddy longlegs...this needs sorting out. |
The Bluebells have properly gone to seed, now. |
After the yellow flowers of the Tutsan, we have the green berries. It appears that nothing eats these...which is interesting given the healing properties of the leaves. |
The avalanche starts. This is Russula delica - a very common fungus that I haven't seen before. About 8 cm across, it stinks of rotting fish.
