It might not be the brightest jewel in the grass, but I have a real soft spot for Meadow Waxcap (Cuphophyllus pratensis). This lovely chunky specimen is growing - appropriately - in our meadow #Waxcaps #Fungi #GrasslandFungi

My favourite find from last week just in time for Halloween. The Powdercap Strangler.

This rarely encountered fungus parasitises the Earthy Powdercap hijacking it to explode from the stipe and replace the host cap with its own, allowing it to spread its own spores

Exciting site found last week near Anglezark reservoir. Likely meets county level significance for grassland fungi and may well have been developing it's species richness for hundreds of years. Good number of species of global conservation significance present.

A new one for me last month. White Spindles (Clavaria fragilis) growing in a Low Weald meadow. @kentfieldclub.bsky.social #grasslandfungi

It’s been a while! I recently came to the end of my MSc research project fieldwork after surveying 300 quadrats across South Lancashire. Data analysis and write up is now full throttle. By the end of September, I will be able to share my findings so stay tuned… #acidgrassland #grasslandfungi

Argh, the cats are creeping back. Here are some waxcaps from two weeks ago - blackening, yellow and meadow. They have taken over an old disused cricket pitch. Much more exciting than cricket but that might be a controversial opinion. #ukfungi #waxcaps #grasslandfungi

Nice to get both Yellow Club (Clavulinopsis helvola, left) and Meadow Coral (C. corniculata, right) growing close to each other in one of our fields #fungi #GrasslandFungi #Waxcaps
