Snap

I think it Earth tongue time, as I found a load down at Whiteford on Saturday, plus a host of other fungi goodies. Birding wasn't great with 3 Crossbill's about the best of the days avian sightings.

As well as the Earth Tongues, other goodies included a pile of Collared Earthstars, and secong Earthstar spp G, rufescens (Correction - now identified as a uncollared Collared Earthstar), Verdigris Roundhead Stropharia aeruginosa, and a couple of Helvella's - Elphin Saddle, H lacunosa and White Saddle, H crispa.

                                            uncollared Collared Earthstar
                                                   Verdigris Roundhead
                                           White Saddle

and for a change, whilst coaching in Singleton Park, this little fella put in an appearance - looking for somewhere to pupate

  2. One or two caps of that Verdigris Roundhead pop up amongst my Paeony's dying stems each year. I will have to go look, to see if any have emerged yet.
