#MushroomMonday I think these are burgundydrop bonnets found over the weekend, I knew they were bonnets but note the pinkish brown stem plus the 'blood' droplet under the cap. #Fungi #RHSBridgewater #mushrooms #Manchester

Mirror out again! Burgundydrop bonnets have a pinkish beige stipe (stem) and 'bleed' when the flesh is damaged, you can see the dark spot in the gills

Bramble associated species: Food plant for the micro moth Stigmella aurella. Leaf mines very common. Mines are long and serpentine and can cross veins and the mid rib. One part of the mine typically has broad line of frass (distinguishing it from S. splendidissimella).

#MacroMonday & #MagentaMonday combined with a fabulous toad flower at #RHSBridgewater yesterday. Must be related to passion flowers somewhere with that distinctive centre! @macrohour.bsky.social #bloomscrolling #DailyFlowers

Such an intricate centre on toad flowers, very similar to the structure of passion flowers
