The delicate structure of a cotinus: this one growing at the back of the West Park tearooms.

Dryad’s saddle is a fairly common bracket fungus which can grow on a variety of trees. This one was on a heavily pruned elder in a front garden.

Yarrow seeds ripening on the plant. I couldn’t decide which picture I liked best.

The bright red ripening berries of a whitebeam. It’s claimed that they are edible when almost rotten – not very tempting.

Dense troop of honey fungus on the Wom Brook Walk. They are often found by stumps, of the trees they are responsible for killing.

Ball-shaped fungi with a warty surface: earthballs. These were in a Forestry Commission wood near Enville.
