Autumn fungi flush – common rustgill mushrooms, city centre

24_11_17-17

As part of the recent pedestrianisation of Worcester Street in Wolverhampton city centre, a series of plant containers have been set along the road. Several different species of fungi are growing on the wood chip mulch spread in these containers.

One such is common rustgill mushrooms. They’re a species which lives on (and off) dead wood produced by conifers, so that must be what the mulch was made from.
