Autumn fungi flush – glistening inkcaps

Autumn fungi flush - glistening inkcaps

Another inkcap species, this time some glistening inkcaps. The glistening comes on some newly emerged ones, which are covered in white flecks – the remains of veils which protected them as they were forcing their way up through the soil.

These had all been around for some time, and had begun to deliquesce. The grouping together in tight clusters is normal.
