Possibly honey mushrooms but I wouldn’t like to say with any certainty! I’m a complete amateur when it comes to fungi and super cautious with identification! I use the @inaturalist.bsky.social app which is great to give you an idea 🍄🍄‍🟫

Happy UK Fungus Day! All of these were photographed by me in the UK. Aren’t they beautiful!

Lots of different coloured mushrooms in a whole range of different shapes and sizes. Some look like coral, others like cauliflowers or little cream coloured balls. There are some that look like jellies or turkey’s tails.

I went for a little trip out to the British Science Festival in Liverpool today, went to a talk about the origins & cultural heritage of food from the Americas and was rewarded with some tasty Mexican street food!

Psychologically, we're living in very hard times for all who care deeply about science, empathy, equity, nature, and rights for all citizens of the planet, human or otherwise.

Find strength, solace, and community in like-minded others, positive action, and in Mother Earth

Went to the woods looking for fungi and was not disappointed. Weird bracket/shelf fungi, plus perfect acorns and lovely vibrant green clover.

I’m not sure, I thought maybe plums because they were quite big but I think plums should be rounder? I might go back and harvest a few! 😋

Marbury Park:
‘No plan’ run turned into an 8k plod because it’s too hot and too pretty! I’m so lucky to have this on my doorstep
