Huge excitement for me about slime moulds (which are not moulds), whenever I find them - utterly fascinating & mysterious organisms! This may not be one but maybe worth considering? Especially with the black bits..

A lovely patch of White Elfin Saddle /Helvella Crispa next to the path under beech trees. Weird with their lobed caps & fluted stems.
Please don't make this one the butt of any jokes! 😁 Once you see it, can't not see it!

White mushroom in autumn leaves, lobed cap and fluted stem. Anatomical shape in the centre!

The view from the top, east towards Crymych & along the Golden Road.

Sometimes we need to go up. To gain perspective & have a 360° vista.
Expansive, beautifully peaceful & quiet apart from playful ravens & skylarks.

It was quiet in the beech woods today. Green canopy above but falling copper & gold crunchy under foot. The space to lose myself & find some peace.

Listed in most texts as poisonous and psychoactive. Personally, I Ieave them for the wood elves to take care of.

Apologies for the typo: Amanita Muscaria! 🍄

There is something quite magical & joyful about these #fungi. Especially when they are so abundant. They stir the imagination & memories of fairytales...

Two red capped mushrooms with white spots & stems, one large and one smaller tucked in behind it. Growing out of green moss.

Love this! 😍

This captivating pond has reappeared after the dry spell. It sits next to a line of old beech #trees & usually offers up gorgeous reflections as well as various #fungi treats. Clusters of glistening ink caps caught my eye. Stopping to appreciate beauty in nature is at the heart of my #trailrunning 💚

Reflections of blue sky and trees in a small pond lined with old wood that has clusters of brown mushrooms.

Savouring the expansive freedom of low tide & blue skies at Freshwater West today.

A large expanse of wet sand at low tide on an empty beach. The sun is reflected off the water and a low headland lies in the distance.

Our streams are running strong after all the rain, bringing reflections & light to the forest. Greens are holding gold at bay, for now. Seeking peace on my trail run this afternoon. Immersion in nature, welcoming back the mud!

Ty Canol is a truly magical place. The beauty of nature is deeply restorative & healing for body, mind & spirit.
I'm full of gratitude that I can experience this, a brief few hours to restore hope

Shops full of apples from New Zealand and South Africa. Madness.

An important victory for wildlife that will hopefully be upheld in future planning decisions.

2 miles of wide open beach at low tide: just me, the oystercatchers, ravens & rock pippits.

Marloes sands on an outgoing tide this morning. Stunning clouds, chough pairs calling, a red backed kestrel gliding just below the cliff top & white seal pups in every cove. More time paused taking it all in than running the trail. Time well spent

Wonderful news!

Came across bright yellow meadow pea & broom on our wander today. As well as red & white clover which I think are also in the pea family?
For #wildflowerhour #peachallenge.
The broom have lovely fuzzy seed pods already!

Someone has had a really good niblle at this Blusher (Amanita rubescens). 1st of the season for me & it seems early but is seen from June to November. Also edible to humans.
