These were on the Buckpool LNR in Dudley.

This pure white mushroom growing through the moss on a tree trunk was about a centimetre tall.

These inkcaps had already partially deliquesced.

A mushroom species with a very distinct umbo (a raised area in the centre of the cap, named after the technical term for the boss of a shield). This one was growing on a grassy verge in a quiet lane by the side of Danescourt Cemetery.

Another fungus which is a common parasite of deciduous trees. This one was growing on a tree on a corner of Church Hill Road, Tettenhall.

The butterfly was looking directly at me as it fed in October.
