Wrinkled club fungus: West Park, Paget Road island

Wrinkled club fungus, Paget Road island

Wrinkled club fungus looks like short stalks which have been soaked too long in water. They are common, but often hidden even in short grass, from summer to winter.

Sometimes found as an area with clumps of fruiting bodies, such as the one here near the tearooms in West Park. At other times there may just be a few individual fruiting bodies or smaller clumps, each a couple of feet from the others. The fungi growing among fallen leaves were like this, growing on the grassy island in Paget Road.
