More mushrooms from the Upper Precinct shopping centre, Coventry. These were blewits, perhaps field blewits.

New nature wall paintings, Coventry
Painted walls just off Coventry’s historic Spon Street. Creatures of the imagination. The rosy bird of prey is one of the first sights greeting anyone stepping out of one of the city’s ‘Spoons.
More mushrooms growing on the wood chip mulch in the Upper Precinct shopping centre, Coventry. These were verdigris mushrooms, half-hidden under the vegetation. The distinctive green colour of their caps is easily washed off by rain, but traces remained on some of them.
