500th image on Fungiworld
Well, the Queen celebrates 60 years on the throne and this weekend I up-loaded on fungiworld my 500th photograph of British fungi in 6 years! A mini achievement - hard work but still exciting and fulfilling.
The 500th image being one I cannot accurately identify. If anyone can help me out please contact me. I think it is a Hygrophorus - it has all the characteristics ie waxy texture. The stem is pure white with grey or black fibres scattered on it. The cap is grey but peeling in places.
On a Winter walk during December along the canal path from Beeston to Nottingham I spotted a lovely fungi which might be Lepista sordida. It was certainly an unusual colour being pinkish/lilac and brown all at the same time! Also residing in a hedgerow which is characteristic of Lepista sordida.
Anyway, on reaching a suitable eatery, I rather enjoyed my mushroom soup! and garlic bread which sustained me for the return walk which was directly into the winter sunshine.
