A very rare mushroom which grows on well-drained sandy soil. I noticed some growing by a quiet lane near Bridgnorth last year.
After this summer, I half expected they wouldn’t appear this year.
I went back to the spot a few hours ago. The area was much more overgrown than it had been this time last year.
But the stiltballs were, if anything, more abundant this time round.
Some had been drained of colour. These were very old ones, perhaps from last year.
