Same species as the previous post: this brown birch bolete was growing under birch trees in Bantock Park.
Brown birch bolete, Finchfield
Russulas, Himley Plantation
Snowberries
Fly agaric, newly emerged
When fly agarics first break through the soil, they don’t yet have a bright red cap.
How many legs?
Yellow Fieldcap
October dawn, West Park
Yellow Stagshorn
Taking off, Upper Green
West Park fly agarics again
Pictures from another visit to a group of fly agaric mushrooms growing under birch trees in West Park.
These first two are different views of the same individual.
Flat or upturned caps on somewhat older individuals.
Faded (or rather rain-washed) colours, well-nibbled – probably by squirrels. This one had been around still longer.
Waxcaps blackening
Blackening waxcaps turning from yellow to black.
Look for these, and other waxcap species, in short grass.
Waxcaps are a genus of small, often strongly coloured, mushrooms
These blackening waxcaps show on the lawn in front of a block of flats every autumn.
