High Heath.

 

Heavy rain.

A sequence showing the transformation of the Blackening Waxcap - Hygrocybe conica - from brightest scarlet to darkest black.

 

Another new species for the list. Larva of the Fox Moth - Macrothylacia rubi. About 5 cm. long.

Mucilago crustacea - one of the Myxomycetes - on blades and stems of grass. Sample on the left about 4 cm. tall.

   

 

Orange-peel Fungus - Aleura aurantia - adds a touch of brightness on a dull day.

This Sphagnum capillifolium adds another bright patch to the ditches and verges.

    

 

This is National Moth Night and a Rosy Rustic - Hydraecia micacea - obligingly flew into my kitchen.
