Still here: orange peel fungus

24_12_13-04

A small patch of grass under a pair of beech trees by the side of Richmond Road has been surprisingly productive of fungi this autumn. Since September there have probably been at least seven or eight different species, easy to spot, at one time or another.

I first noticed these orange peel fungi towards the end of October. The same fruiting bodies remained almost two months later, still giving an impression of some carelessly discarded litter.
