We found quite a lot of fungi on the unimproved grassland this afternoon. Most of it was in tatters, looking past it’s best but we did find two interesting specimens. We didn’t have a lot of time to search for more and we’re not really into fungi identification…are these some sort of Waxcap ?
Spangle Waxcap was the first one spotted last week
Then I found White Spindles, several patches
Then the Parrot Waxcaps started to pop up
Then I found a Honey Waxcap
Then an Oily Waxcap
And finally the remains of a Meadow Waxcap
All of these were seen in the last week in fields at the farm.
The pictures are just snapped on the phone as I found them.
Such a range of species in July is very unusual but hopefully it’s a sign of a good Waxcap season ahead.
I saw these fungi in the Tod Park woods.
I think the bracket fungi is Dryads Saddle and it occurred on this Sycamore a couple of years ago.
The other is Dogs Vomit fungi which I have not come across in the wood before.
