A tree of heaven’s vivid autumn colours as it rises over a high garden wall were just a little muted on a misty morning recently. Condensation from the mist created bright outlines for the leaves, completing the picture.
A misty autumn morning softens the outlines of the trees in Bantock Park, transforming the landscape’s appearance.
A cool and very misty day last month meant that lots of spiders’ webs were left with overnight condensation. The tiny water droplets made the webs stand out in the early morning light.
Large mushrooms growing amid the more distinctive orange peel fungus (images in a post a week or so ago) in Bantock Park recently. No definite ID. Highly visible, they had been stomped to small pieces by the following day.
Shaggy inkcaps forcing their way through the tarmac of a pavement. The black mark is a product of their deliquescence – the caps turn to mush from the rim inwards, which is this group of mushrooms method for dispersing their spores.
Fungi growing on wood chip mulch in Bantock Park. They’ve been heavily nibbled so it’s hard to be sure what they were, but probably common inkcaps – just possibly some rarer inkcap species.
