Indeed. Nature can be brutal, but beautiful at the same time.

I can never resist posting the rare and unusual Hazel Gloves Fungus (Hypocreopsis rhododendri) when I see it. This was in a fragment of South Wales temperate rainforest. 27/10/26 #fungi

These Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) clearly don’t know what month it is, or don’t read ‘the books’. Flowers April-June. 🤔 Surrey pine woodland, this week. #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Leratiomyces ceres (Redlead Roundhead) I think. It looks right and the habitat was right (sandy soil, near pine, by a path). Any other views? An alien from Australia, this seen in Surrey 22/10/26 #fungi

Lovely example of Coprinus comatus (aka Lawyer’s Wig), showing the start of the deliquescence process, that releases spores from the margins of the gills. Also a young example just emerging. Surrey 22/10/26 #fungi

I did the same, just lucky I suppose. The first I’ve seen, much smaller than expected.

I’m always on the lookout for fungi with interesting vernacular names, but this one has to be the best - Hairy Nuts Disco (Lanzia echinophila) 😎 Growing on rotting Sweet Chestnut husks. Surrey 22/10/26 #fungi
