I know ! I was slightly concerned I might startle the local dog walkers. Lots of other things to do today, so making the most of being in South Wales.

The wonderful and rare Hazel Gloves Fungus (Hypocreopsis rhododendri). I love the fact that it’s a parasite, not of the Hazel trees where you find it, but of another fungus, Glue Crust (Hymenochaete corrugata), which forms the actual crust on the Hazel branches. 11/10/25 #fungi

I just live the New Forest. It’s about an hour and a half from me now, but such a special place. I try to get there as often as I can.

Had a great afternoon, with the ‘Orkids’, at the Kenfig fungi day, despite the horrendous weather and getting stuck on the M4. Also my first Waxcaps of the year. Thanks the Glamorgan Fungi Group and Chris the warden #fungi #FungiFriends

Amazing ! That’s a wonderful location. I haven’t visited lately, looks like I should !

I spend a lot of time in churchyards looking at fungi - perhaps I should be checking for pseudoscorpions too. Any tips for a novice?

Mold is the American English spelling and mould is the British English spelling for the same word, meaning either the organism or a form for shaping materials. 😁
