Gamlingay Wood 19.11.13

An autumn stroll around one of my favourite woods was a perfect diversion on a bright sunny day. Its a bit late in the season for fungi now so didn't see too much diversity, but the spotting of a really tiny mushroom (pic 3) was a nice find. Much of the conifers here are being removed, which will be great for the biodiversity in the coming years.

A nice walk on the Clent Hills turned up hundreds of Amethyst Deceivers, many more than I've ever seen. Also saw a Peacock Butterfly over a field :-)

Cavenham Heath Woods 26.10.13

A nice walk in the woods next to Cavenham Heath, which is actually quite diverse for Fungi. Also saw a beautiful Minotaur Beetle, and several Dragonflies and a Noon Fly were still flying.

A short walk in the woods to see what Fungi might be there. I was hoping for more but still got a couple of nice shots. Come on Mushrooms let's be having you!

Strange spiky fungus?
