Coniferous forestry with deciduous edges.
Dull with showers. |
Once the Lepista nuda - the Wood Blewit - is past its best, it loses the bright purple gills and becomes almost a universal pink all over. There were dozens of them under a Beech. |
These tiny fungi on a dead Beech leaf are Physarum nutans, one of the Myxomycetes, or slime moulds. Individual fruiting bodies are about 1 mm. across.

Two images of Clavulina rugosa. My initial reaction was that these had been eaten by something, but they're ok.

This Cladonia polydactyla is often found on old fence-posts. This one is on a post that holds a metal gun-club sign.
