November 14th – A very wet, miserable day. i nipped over to Aldridge for some shopping and went via the canal in both directions. Some great fungus is growing on the banks of the new pond at clayhanger, and in a saturated state, they glistened with almost alien textures.
September 8th – It’s nice to see the fungi coming through now – I love this feature of autumn. Many folk don’t realise, but toadstools, balls and polypores are just the bloom of much larger organisms living out of sight. They really are unlike anything else in nature.
This roll-rim was growing on a grass verge in Wednesbury and was about eight inches in diameter. They start flat and become funnel-shaped as they age: it was a misty, wet morning and this one was gathering condensation well.
