Rollrim mushroom growing by the new cyclepath / footpath in the middle of the ring road by the Molineux. Recent heavy rain had left a small pool of water in the middle of the mushroom’s cap.

One vivid red fallen leaf by the path at Bantock Park, contrasting strongly with the surrounding tones.

Blewitt growing on a roadside grassy area at Compton. May be a field blewitt (at least according to the pattern recognition identification at iNaturalist)

Late August. Water mint on the Compton Park pond in full flower, attracting large numbers of bees.

Candlesnuff fungus growing on a short tree stump at the top of Compton Hill. By the side of the stump there’s an earth star (possibly more hidden in the leaf litter).

More pictures left over from early autumn. Acorns ripening on an oak, some right next to gnarly galls. Persistent rain meant some had begun to rot.
