These damp days are perfect conditions for fungi season. The mud has started, but the paths are still accessible if you are wearing waterproof shoes, so we recommend a walk in Crofton and Sparrow Woods to see fabulous fungi. 

Here are some sightings from the last few days. They have been identified using a free App called Obsidentify. It is not 100% accurate, but a great help. (But don't use it to identify edible fungi - just assume you shouldn't eat any of them.)


Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)

Deceiver mushroom (Laccaria laccata)


Brown Roll Rim (Paxillus involutus)

Possibly Armillaria species - simply covered with with talc-like spores

Candlesnuff (Xylaria hypoxylon)

Rosy Bonnet (Mycena rosea)
