Rain much of the day.
Suddenly it's Autumn.
And, yes, Drumboe is on a slope - the River Finn is about 100 m to the left.
I hadn't noticed this single Hazel hiding amongst all the Birch and Beech around here. The fallen nuts gave it away.
Bolbitius vitellinus (left) is a very common small fungus in grassland. On the right is a very autumnal Lactarius.
Cream spores, stipe colouring orange on cutting, milk mild, under Birch. 6-10 cm.cap. Cap Slimy when wet, downy when dry.
The very strong scent of coconut helped me to identify Lactarius glyciosmus. The milk is hot and bitter, but after a delay.
This appears to be the Deceiver - Laccaria laccata. It can be white, pink, orange or brown, hence the name.
Another mine, this time on Beech. It's Stigmella hemargyrella - a micromoth.
