The bright yellow autumn leaves of one of the gingkoes at the Chapel Ash end of Compton Road, caught against a blue sky before the winds started to denude the tree.

Tawny funnelcap
A fairly common mushroom. The cap is depressed towards the centre, so it does indeed resemble a funnel. I didn’t get a picture of that this time, but the funnel effect can be seen in a previous post
of a related species.
Verdigris agaric – Berkswell
The same species of mushroom as the previous post. These were growing in the churchyard at Berkswell. They, too, have lost much of their colour to rain, but seem to have escaped a nibbling.
CORRECTION: identified by Lukas Large as possibly pepper roundhead
Verdigris agaric – Wolverhampton
A common but easily overlooked mushroom. The verdigris agaric starts off very definitely coloured like the copper tarnish. But they are more frequently to be seen with the pale tints of these specimens – the colour is easily washed off by rain.
These, and a handful of other species of mushrooms, were growing in an easily missed vegetation patch where the ring road underpass emerges heading for the Molineux Stadium. They may have been associated with the wood chipping mulch there.
