Honey fungus around the base of the remaining stump of one of the trees which it’s finished off.

The bright red leaves and berries of a front garden cotoneaster fringed with frost. I was struck by the one nonconfirmist leaf, stubbornly staying green.

More blewits, this time growing in West Park. Probably wood blewits, but I didn’t examine them very thoroughly.

The first full frost of the winter, exactly a month to go till Christmas. A West Park view: behind the demonstration Victorian sewage pipe re-creation, the autumn leaves on the trees behind the tea rooms.

Shaggy parasols are among the largest mushrooms in Britain, and quite common in autumn. These were growing under trees in West Park.

Carrion crow on the bank of the West Park lake, stepping carefully down to reach for a drink of water.
