Wolves Wild

When I first noticed them, I thought these puffballs were oak apples which had fallen on the ground. They were about the same size and colour.

Recently emerged fly agaric mushroom, but already nibbled by something, and washed by heavy rain. Some of the red pigment has washed out of the cap. That has left a yellowish colour on the rim of the cap, and also stained the remnants of the veil, just visible half way up the stem.

Fruit of a spindle tree, now fully opened. See this earlier post for how things looked as the fruit had just started to open.

Unidentified fungus growing on many of the twigs of a roadside shrub. From a distance the white growths looked like fleece, perhaps a cleaner version of the scraps of animal hair which get caught on the prongs of a barbed wire fence.

Another black-headed gull on a vantage point, this time the crossbar of a goalpost.

One of West Park’s growing flock of black-headed gulls, unconcerned at the warning message of the notice it is using as a vantage point.
