Growing on a tree stump, and contributing to the recycling of its material, sulfur tuft mushrooms. There’s a chance these can be found through the winter, with a bright colour which makes them easier to spot.
Autumn fungi: shaggy inkcaps once again
Yet more fruiting bodies thrown up through the tarmac of a pavement by a persistent shaggy inkcap mushroom.
Acer in autumn, West Park
Vivid autumn colours on the leaves of one of the acers in West Park. There are lots of them planted all round the park, seemingly chosen so that all of them have different colours in the autumn.
Misty morning: thistle
Another picture of a nearby subject: a thistle with dense cover of water droplets condensed from the heavy mist.
Misty morning: yew arils
Another nearby subject, so the morning’s heavy mist only showed through the condensation on the leaves of the yew and on the spiders’ webs. The bright red arils are not actually berries, but a soft cover around tiny cones. They may look tempting, but avoid unless you want a nasty gastric upset.
Yucca in autumn
A yucca in a front garden, having a second flowering. The first and highest flower was already turning to seed.
