This squirrel seemed to by trying to stuff as much food in its mouth as it possibly could.
I wasn’t able to spot what it was eating. For once, it must have been something it had found itself. There was no-one around who could have fed it.
A fairly common mushroom. The cap is depressed towards the centre, so it does indeed resemble a funnel. I didn’t get a picture of that this time, but the funnel effect can be seen in a previous post
of a related species.
The same species of mushroom as the previous post. These were growing in the churchyard at Berkswell. They, too, have lost much of their colour to rain, but seem to have escaped a nibbling.
CORRECTION: identified by Lukas Large as possibly pepper roundhead
A common but easily overlooked mushroom. The verdigris agaric starts off very definitely coloured like the copper tarnish. But they are more frequently to be seen with the pale tints of these specimens – the colour is easily washed off by rain.
These, and a handful of other species of mushrooms, were growing in an easily missed vegetation patch where the ring road underpass emerges heading for the Molineux Stadium. They may have been associated with the wood chipping mulch there.
Waxcaps are a group of tiny, often strongly coloured, mushrooms. Several of the species are yellowish. This one is called the conical waxcap, though to my eye it is not noticeably more conical than other species.
These were peeping through moss on a lawn of flats near West Park.
The bright autumn leaves of a cherry tree on the fringes of Dudley Castle hill. There was a magpie perching high in the tree.
