Wolves Wild

Two crab apples remaining on the same tree in mid-winter: one appearing still pristine, the other reduced to remnants of flesh, the rest presumably pecked away.

Mushrooms, species unidentified, which seemed to be growing on wood chip mulch. The rims of the caps were strongly upturned, bringing the gills into view.

Coal fungus – also known as cramp balls and as King Alfred’s cakes – a common fungus found on dead or dying decisuous wood. As inedible as they look.

Ant hills, unmistakable tussucks in the grassy areas of the Wellcombe Hills Country Park in Warwickshire.

Canal basin at Stratford on Avon, early in the morning after snowfall carrying on into the previous night.

Lone fly agaric under the trees by the roadside in the grounds of Compton Hospice. I first noticed it, looking recently emerged, at the start of December. Here, over a month later, it had blackened and shrivelled.
