Although rare in the south of the uk I was delighted to find chrysomphalina grossula, green navel, for the second time this year in Bernwood forest. Both times on old ,mossy stumps, probably spruce.

Chuffed to find this small, unusual earth star in Oxford park. Either geastrum floriforme, daisy earth star, or astraeus hygrometricus ,barometer earth star. Due to differing thickness in the flesh, the rays fold over to protect the spore sac as it dries.

There are over 6000 species of parasitic wasp in the uk, very little is known about many of them, which is strangely pleasing to me! This is one of them from my Oxford garden , any help iding much appreciated

2024 was variable for fungi around Oxford, but the lack of boletes etc meant discovering different species. This was an interesting one found under yew in an Oxford cemetery, sowerbyella radiculata
