Verdigris mushrooms get their name from their green colour, which looks more like the patina formed on copper than the shade of any other living thing.
The colour is strongest on young fungi. Then it fades, or washes away in rain.
They have been one of the species which has been more common than usual this autumn. Today’s pictures feature some of the verdigris mushrooms from a group growing a few yards from Compton Lock, and a single individual which was by one of the hedgerows on Northycote Farm.
