Another fungal foray today, but this time I was out with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust at Crich Chase Meadows, near Belper. The site includes ancient grassland and ancient woodland and we found a great variety of species and I learned a few things too :)
Meadow Waxcap (Hygrocybe pratensis)...
Vermillion Waxcap - Hygrocybe miniata (probably)...
Parrot Waxcap (plus a leafhopper!) - Hygrocebe psittacina
Two kinds of club fungus - Orange - Clavulinopsis laeticolor - and White - Clavaria fragilis (I think, could be wrong)
Some small fungus past sporing (possibly rootlet brittlestem as there were some nearby)...
Dung roundhead -Stropharia semiglobata
Blackening Waxcap - Hygrocebe conica
Liberty Cap - Psilocybe semilanceata (also know as the magic mushroom ;) !)
The gills of possibly a Slender Parasol...
True Parasol - Macrolepiota procera...
Amethyst Deceiver - Laccaria amethystina...
Wood Blewitt - Clitocybe nuda...
These are just some of the fungi found so it wasn't a bad haul at all this morning and there was plenty of ground we hadn't covered at that!
That vermillion waxcap is absolutely stunning, the colour is so pretty! I love fungi, they're just so pretty and the dewy spiderwebs are just lovely. - Tasha
