Collared earthstar fungi growing in one of the beds at the Castle Grounds Park, Bridgnorth, looking decidedly shrivelled. A week earlier they had looked like this.
Fly agaric mushrooms appear most autumns in one of the planting areas by the ring road Chapel Ash roundabout. This year the bamboo, the official occupant, has been trimmed to a stubble a few inches high. The red and white fungi stand out more clearly than in previous years.xxx

Shaggy inkcaps, half deliquesced
Various species of inkcaps deliquesce, their caps turning to a slimy mess, as they have released their spores. Shaggy inkcaps, also known as lawyers wigs, are perhaps the most common type round here.
Like these, often found in grass by the sides of roads. Here two I came across at different times recently when their caps were about half gone.
