This distinctive spring mushroom is uncommon.
The one pictured here was growing in a municipal flowerbed by the Severn – hence the gravel cover.
Wildlife from Wolverhampton and nearby
Last weekend the bluebells finally came out in a carpet of flowers.
The view below is of a small wood just outside Rindleford, near Bridgnorth.
And here a view of a smaller patch of the same slope.
Finally from a little wood just a few hundred yards from Boscobel House. Although this picture was taken a couple of days after the others, the flowers are not quite so far out.
