It’s beginning to look a lot like Autumn - mushrooms, low sun, colder nights & leaves starting to fall 🍄‍🟫✨🍂🍁 #FungiFriday

Huge Blushing Milkcap, a cluster of Powdery Brittlegill & a Coal Brittlegill in time for #FungiFriday

Another delight from Braunton Burrows is this Water Germander - Teucrium scordium. Seems it is only found at one other site in UK. @withylake.bsky.social @lizlouise.bsky.social @stevieparsons.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social

A fabulous day on Braunton Burrows. Target species Spiranthes spiralis - Autumn Ladies Tresses found in several locations including one completely new to me.😁 @withylake.bsky.social @lizlouise.bsky.social @stevieparsons.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social

Other things seen recently (other than Boletes) are a Milkcap, Willow Shield, & a Giant Polypore #Fungi #Mushrooms

This is brilliant - a Magpie nest made from anti-bird spikes (to deter other birds, obviously). Magpies are so smart, their road sense always amazes me. www.researchgate.net/figure/Magpi...

This poor hedgehog (on the right) turned up early yesterday morning with quite severe skin problems. Managed to catch him late last night & taking him to a rescue. He can hopefully come back, all being well! 🍀🦔

Ghostly encounter with an orchid, Epipogium aphyllum. 👻😃. Slovakia 17-7-2025

Some are stellate, glandular, forked, simple or branched. What are? I hear you ask! Hairs! This week’s challenge is to find a hairy plant, the hirsuter the better and examine its trichomes! Post your bristly pics using the hashtag #hairyplants for #Wildflowerhour this Sunday 8-9pm
