Wolves Wild

This tiny mushroom was just visible in the recently mown grass is the barley field in the Smestow Brook Nature Reserve.

A bee getting nectar a couple of weeks ago.

These mushrooms were growing in lawn-length grass on the edge of a local playing field.

This chrysalis had taken up residence on the lid of a barbecue.

This clump of tiny mushrooms had pushed their way through tarmac which had only been laid down a couple of months ago. Pictured newly emerged and then a day later.

Unmistakable in the way it does resemble an old man’s beard when the seeds are riper, but even stranger looking at this time of year.
