Late entries

A trio of late entries for the fungus of the year award.


This one from Wisley, omitted from the record of our last visit, otherwise collected by the group search key wsc. Rather striking, although I have no idea what it was.



And this one from Clay Hill Green, bright and early this morning. Bright and fresh is was too, so much so that all the traffic on West Hill was very well mannered, giving way to each other all over the place. 

A few days past their best, and some of the smaller members of the cluster are out of snap, but fine examples of amanita muscaria all the same - and probably still loaded with plenty of interesting hallucinogenic gear. I wonder if it has become illegal to tolerate such things in one's garden? See reference 1.


And, lastly, a clump of something from the bottom of our very own road, at the top of an alley leading to some off-road flats, on top, I should imagine of a tree stump. Still not tempted to try and find out their name. Maybe that will come if I keep finding such good specimens.


Group search key: wsc.
