5th October |
An area of woodland undisturbed for many years, consisting of a broken down farmstead under ancient Sycamores and with rambling Fuchsias over 7m tall.
Bright periods (this was one of them) with occasional torrential rain. |
On the left, Lactarius deterrimus, growing under Spruce planted 50 years ago by the landowner, and on the right a Russula, possibly Russula sanguinea, under the same tree.
|
A single shaft of light came through the canopy, highlighting this little group of Sulphur Tuft mushrooms and a fallen Fuchsia flower. |
There were plenty of these Sulphur Tuft mushrooms in groups on stumps, branches and buried wood debris.

Cow Parsley has made a reappearance. These rich green fronds are rivalling ferns in the hedgerow edges. |
