The reason I was following the path was I hoped to find fungi. This I think this is Clouded Funnel, Clitocybe nebularis, amongst Beech leaves. Meg's Mount Wood near #Cambridge.

Not surprising that a tiny caterpillar should take shelter amongst these flowers on a day as wet as today. Maybe something like Beautiful Plume moth, Amblyptilia acanthadactyla, on Lesser Calamint, Clinopodium nepeta, in Orwell Clunch Pit near #Cambridge. #WildWebsWednesday #TeamMoth
