This troop of mushrooms was growing on a pile of wood chippings.

This inkcap mushroom is gently deliquescing – disintegrating from the rim to release its spores.

A hoverfly resting on a leaf. Notice the rear end of its abdomen, where it seems to be excreting some of the pollen it has eaten.

Another species of bolete, no more precisely identified.

These elderberries are just beginning to ripen.

This is a largish mushroom, fairly common near birch trees in the autumn.
