Clump of snowberries. A new world plant popular with gardeners because of its decorative berries.

I noticed this bigger than normal clump hanging down over a pavement.

When fly agarics first break through the soil, they don’t yet have a bright red cap.

This harvestman has eight legs, actually. They are related to spiders.

But when one is resting on a white wall in bright sunlight, the shadows look like there are more.

Yellow fieldcaps are fairly common small mushrooms. Their preferred habitat is meadowland with rich soil; here the recently mown Barley Field.

Yellow stagshorn is a common but tiny fungus which grows on decaying conifer, often on buried wood.

It’s a jelly fungus, and can be orange, through various shades of yellow, or rarely whitish.

This one was growing on a stump in Himley Plantation.
