Another delicately and distinctively coloured fungus spotted on a recent walk in the Woodland Trust’s Himley Plantation, where we were looking for fungi before they disappeared with the first hard frosts of the season.
This is the yellow shield (Pluteus chrysophaeus), or possibly a closely related species. Cap less than an inch across, yellow but hard to spot in deep shade. Sufficiently uncommon that it doesn’t figure in any of the collection of field guides we have.
