30th September |
Original Hedgerow, leg 1. Identification correction. The 'Cystoderma amianthinum' from September 13th is actually Pholiota flammans - a much rarer species. The mature fungi are very spectacular, and I'll show them soon. Heavy showers. |
The back of the ditch is always covered with the Liverwort Lunularia cruciata. Today two fungi were pushing through: A Hemimycena (white, with cap about 8mm) and Clavulinopsis helvolla. |
And this is a shot of the Hemimycena underside. |
A fine little bell-shaped Mycena. |
The Nematus pavidus larvae are fewer in number now. They're spread over more leaves, but the total number is down by probably 75%. No sign of ichneumonids any more. |
And this is the current state of development - about 3 cm. long. I think they're almost fully-grown, now, so they should be wandering off to pupate soon. |
