It's been a late start this year with the dry weather but the grassland fungi are finally appearing. I'm going to post a waxcap species each day as we move through peak fruiting season, hoping to encourage folks to recognise and record this important group. @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Bit of a surprise this morning - a Juniper Shieldbug sat very nicely on our one, remaining, very small Ragwort flower in the garden! #wildwebswednesday

Exploring Skaigh Woods on Dartmoor today, we found this amazing small-leaved lime covered in epiphytes - an indicator of ancient woodland - plus yellow stagshorn fungi, loads of fly agaric mushrooms and this punk caterpillar, a pale tussock moth
