Some fungi are so small they are only likely to be found by deliberate searching. This curiosity was shown to me today at Whitlingham. The 'large' structure here is an old nail gall on a lime tree leaf caused by Eriophyes tiliae. The fungus, Ophiognomonia melanostyla, is the tiny black prongs on it!

Apricot Jelly (Guepinia helvelloides) is a salmon-pink, ear-shaped, gelatinous fungus and always reminds me of rose petals. Rubbery in texture, is edible, and may be eaten raw with salads, pickled, or candied. Fruit in the late Summer and usually after a heavy rain.

Every single day they find a new way to be crueler then the fucking Tories.
So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

IMPORTANT: When transporting a giant puffball mushroom you have recently foraged, it is absolutely crucial that you ensure the mushroom is firmly strapped into the passenger seat of your car to guard against sharp braking and potential whiplash
