They look like tiny white stalks, less than an inch high among the short grass of a front lawn. They are wrinkled club, quite easy to miss.

Bantock Park as most of the leaves were beginning to change colour for the autumn. Bantock House just shows through the trees above, while my shadow intrudes below.

Wood blewits are another of the many mushroom species which grow in association with trees: in their case, a wide variety of deciduous or coniferous trees. When fresh, the caps have a lilac (sometimes pinkish) colour, which has faded on these specimens.

Lone tree in West Park, its leaves turning colour for the autumn, starting at the top and working down.

Mushrooms growing through the tarmac of a pavement, right up against a wooden fence.

A row of ginkgo trees, leaves turning vividly yellow for autumn. No sign yet this year of falling fruits on the one female tree in the row.
