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

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. 😁

Newly emerged Deer-fly or Deer Ked (Lipoptena cervi) a member of the louse fly family. These insects are parasites of deer (shedding their wings once they reach a host) burrowing through the fur and sucking the blood of the host animals. #insect #parasite
