Some waxcaps from this Autumn, all local to me, in Malvern. Scarlet, Orange, Parrot & Ballerina. @worcswt.bsky.social #Fungi #MushroomMonday
Itβs one Iβve been on the lookout for tooππ
Fantastic selection. Iβd like be to see the middle Devilβs Boleteπ
#TeamMoth 2 moths from work today. Merveille du Jour & Figure of Eight. Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire @bc-westmids.bsky.social @worcswt.bsky.social
Checked lots of Ivy again today. Still nothing. π€π³ worrying
I must admit, Iβve not looked for these in Worcestershire recentlyβ¦.. maybe thereβs some still about ππΌππ
Now I think these are The Blusher (Amanita rubescens) Malvern, Worcestershire. π€π»@lukaslarge.bsky.social @worcswt.bsky.social #Fungi #UKFungusDay
Many thanks for taking a lookππΌ
Thanks Lukas. I did wonder. Certainly more likely. Any ideas on the Amanita?
Finally, with some painstaking searching, found sone Fly Agarics, Welland, Worcestershire this morning. #UKFungusday @worcswt.bsky.social #Fungi
Think these are Aspen Bolete due to proximity of Aspen thicket & Panther Cap. Welland, Worcestershire. Not sure though as next trees were Birch, although around 3 M away so could be Birch Bolete π€ #ukfungusday @worcswt.bsky.social #Fungi lovely whateverππΌ
I think this may be a Tawny Grisette, LittleBredy, Dorset. Very mature. No other fungi seen. #MushroomMonday. @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Went to the LROP this morning before going to Wanford Hospital to see my uncle. So pleased the Osprey turned up just as I was leaving . Pleased to see it feedingππΌ couldβve done with being on the east side to avoid the sun but quite chuffedπ @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social
Is the mango new for site, Mike π€π
Good luckππΌ
Itβll take a while to harden, Rob. They can over winter as pupae but also occasionally as adults
A. papilionacea?
