Wolves Wild

Lichens grow on many surfaces, as long as they can get enough moisture and the air is clean enough. But I never previously noticed any growing on moss.

This miniature ecology was on the wall of the churchyard at Penkridge.

The Waxcaps now look completely black …

or are well on the way to doing so.

They are also more ragged and battered.

In contrast with the mushrooms in the previous post, these Waxcaps are further along the process of losing their yellow.

Waxcaps – tiny mushrooms which are bright yellow when they first appear, and gradually turn black.

These not yet at full height.

Just showing traces of beginning to turn colour.

The crop of these ornamental rosehips is one of many which has done well this year.

These were growing on one of the bushes around Perton Pool, and were still wet after heavy overnight rain.
