It's #FrohawkFriday, the day we celebrate the butterfly studies & artwork of FW Frohawk. Today features our very own mini-morpho in our midst, the perfectly fabulous Common Blue. It's a widespread species, found almost right across Britain, and a total delight to encounter.

I like how the Turkey Tail is bang in the centre of this stump and the other fungi are arranged in a swirl. There’s some tiny Grey Disco sprinkled in thar too. 🍄 #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

check out this amazing photograph of a heron in Richmond Park by my former colleague Toby Melville now of Reuters

This morning it looked like the spiders had decorated the countryside with strings of diamonds. #Sussex

There’s a (tiny) party in the woods. Grey Disco and Lemon Disco getting down together. 🍄 #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

My annual round up of the year in photos is now live on my site. Please do take a look. www.leonneal.com/work/2025-a-...

Chilly end to the year. Even on a misty and grey day you can find little spots of (frosted) colour. #Frost

don’t forget tonight to set your calendars ahead a year

I was on the bus, stood behind a very distinctive-looking girl I'd known since we were both kids and greeted her by prodding her on the shoulder and saying "Alright, dickhead?" It wasn't her.

A woman in town would sometimes be super friendly and say hello and other times just totally blank me. Talking to another neighbour I found out they were twins who both lived nearby.

Think this goo is Crystal Brain fungus. It was oozing out of lots of downed trees in one part of the woods. 🍄 #FungiFriends

Some finds from a fotoforage in the muddy woods. 🍄 #FungiFriends

Saw a new slime mould today, possibly a Stemonitus. Checked it again a few hours later on the way back and the ends had small red drops. #SlimeMould #FungiFriends

Not sure of the species and different stages but the Slime Mould Stump now has a longer red sample and a pinkish lightbulb similar to the previous white, yellow and brown versions. #SlimeMould #FungiFriends

A twig studded with little blobs of Coral Spot. 🍄 #FungiFriends

There’s been fewer colourful mushrooms around as winter arrives so it was nice to pass a little group of bright yellow waxcaps. 🍄 #FungiFriends

In all its fuzzy pompom glory. This is a few mm tall. Hemitrichia clavata. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Saw a fog bow for the first time this morning. Amazing soft white light. #FogBow

Golden hour with our local stonechat this afternoon. Still hoping like mad that she'll stick around for the winter 🧡

Ring, ring. #Sussex

Great news that the National Trust hopes to buy Giant Hill, one of the most important butterfly sites in Dorset. Please support the appeal if you can. Our Branch have been monitoring the site for decades and helping to maintain species like the Duke of Burgundy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This was a fun find today! I believe these are Insect-egg slim mold, Leocarpus fragilis, hanging out on the upper reaches of the stipe of this likely Red Pinwheel fungi, Marasmius plicatulus. #FungiFriends #SlimeMold #Fungi #Nature #Moss #MossMates

Rainy day mushrooms — possibly Waxcaps? 🍄 #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

Wherever I lay my pat… 🍄 #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

They have pounced. And it’s a surprise attack, the two caps were hiding a third. Sneaky. 🍄 #FungiFriends

A tear in the clouds.

Anyone know if the little orange cups are related to the larger orange blob? I’m not sure what either are, appreciate any #FungiFriends with ID skills.
