Like the birch boletes featured in a post yesterday, blushing boletes appear in autumn under birch trees. They look not dissimilar, the less common blushing bolete being a darker brown. Comparisons are helped when mushrooms of the two species are growing fairly near to one another, as was the case on the walk when these pictures were taken.
Ornamental solanacea, a garden plant related to nightshades, tomatoes and potatoes, possibly Brazilian nightshade. Its large glossy red berries in a flower bed by the entrance lodge to Tettenhall College.
Birch boletes, the same species of mushroom featured in a post yesterday, and also growing under birch trees in Bantock Park. These had only emerged in the past day or two. The caps were still domed, or only just starting to spread.
Autumn yellows and browns on one of the oak trees in Bantock Park. The leaves showing these colours were much larger than those of either of the native oak species.
Birch boletes are a common autumn mushroom which grow in association with birch trees. The underside of the cap has pores rather than gills, a feature of all types of boletes.
