It's been a late start this year with the dry weather but the grassland fungi are finally appearing. I'm going to post a waxcap species each day as we move through peak fruiting season, hoping to encourage folks to recognise and record this important group. @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Grassland fungi are not as showy as usual this year. I had to do a lot of searching to find not many species today. A bit more rain should bring more out hopefully. Meadow Coral, an undetermined Earth-tongue (finger for scale, this is a big one), Blackening Waxcap. @plantlifeuk.bsky.social
