This is the first decent sized cluster of Fungi found so far this year, this was at Snailbeach in South Shropshire. I believe it to be Suplhur Tuft, inedible and widespread in forest locations around trunks and rotting stems #thegardenjungle

A wonderfully moody little number. Ticks numerous boxes for me. I can't believe it took me until this year to find this. Recommended.

Got as close as I dare to the old opencast workings known as Roman Gravels mine, Shropshire. There was undoubtedly early lead mining here and further up the valley at Snailbeach. The finding of 4 lead ‘pigs’ or ingots in the vicinity of Hadrianic date and Roman coins, pottery & tools support this.

Nice to see Mountain Pansy at Blakemoorgate above Snailbeach. Also Climbing Corydalis, loads of Cowslips on the old lead mine tips and Cladonia lichen fruiting with its red apothecia

The moth group was at Snailbeach on Friday night & what a night it was. As usual I tagged along with my camera. Moths later, but in the meantime I spotted this fabulous purple morph Field Grasshopper nymph. What a stunner!

Not all moths dive headfirst into the traps. This Miller decided to chill out & watch the show from a couple of metres away. Snailbeach, last Friday.

Fabulous day out being a complete geek looking at lead mine engine houses, reconstructed miners squatter settlement and Castle Ring hillfort in and around Snailbeach, Shropshire. Haven’t been here for 20 years and had it all to myself.
