| unidentified item at Lords Piece, 5-10mm |
On Wednesday we had the last Heyshott work party of the year. Afterwards digitally foraged for fungi at Heyshott escarpment, Heyshott Common and Lords Piece. I added new species of fungi and lichens to my galleries: Birch Mazegill, Eyelash Cup, Glistening Inkcap, Brown Birch Bolete, Common Bonnet, Common Greenshield Lichen, Dog Lichen, Common Bonnet, Oak Curtain Crust, White Brain and Splitgill. Plus a Black Snail Beetle and Banded Centipedes.
My favourites were the Eyelash Cup, the White Brain and the Splitgill, which reminded me of a coral.
