Autumn fungi flush - buttercaps, Bantock Park

More autumn mushrooms from Bantock Park. These buttercaps were growing near a beech hedge, in a spot where they’ve also been in earlier years.

These individuals are no longer at their freshest, but apparently the species is considered edible – perhaps somewhat less tempting under their alternative name, greasy toughshank.
