6th November |
Coniferous plantation with deciduous fringes.
Dull with occasional bright spells. |
This is the Wood Blewit - Lepista nuda. They seem to be around in large numbers in many places this year. I've seen them in almost every piece of woodland/forestry. Excellent eating, but beware the Cortinarius that looks somewhat like this but has brown spores (these have pink spores). |
Two shots of Meruliopsis corium - a very thin fungus on dead wood. The second shot shows the spore-bearing tubes on the upper surface.
|
Continuing with second-chance flowerings - this Marsh Thistle was flowering from old leaf axils, directly on the stem. |
This is the Black Helvella - Helvella lacunosa.
Compare it with the Common White Helvella - Helvella crispa on September 25th and October 30th. |
