Still more of the fly agaric mushrooms which have been showing in many spots this year.

These were under trees right by a path in Bantock Park.

The ones shown here had been out for some time in damp weather. Rain washing had muted some of the reds in their caps.

Someone had kicked one over, offering a view of the gills.

Golden spindles are fairly common, and bright, fungi in various shades of yellow. But their small size means they are easily missed even in short grass.

More of the fly agaric mushrooms which are popping up all over the place this year.

These were in a bed of canes by Chapel Ash roundabout, where they crop up most autumns.

Same species as the previous post: this brown birch bolete was growing under birch trees in Bantock Park.

Another of the mushrooms which has been popping up often this autumn. A brown birch bolete, this time on the lawn by the Finchfield shops.

Russula growing on the floor of Himley Plantation.

It is possibly Russula luteotacta, a fairly common member of the genus which doesn’t seem to have a common English name.
