Will do, thanks Wendy - I vaguely recall something from the other place that he posted.
I've got lots of old records to send in this winter too

We've got them, or something like it, in our lawn..

that's exciting!
Fungi lawns should be an aspiration like wildflower lawns (also moss lawns too, but appreciate that's not for everyone).

the garden centres now have a comparatively adventurous selection of winter foliage plants for window boxes & pots where they look at leaf colour, texture, shape, etc and it has no relation to how the plant was traditionally used in the garden, this one included!

sooo steep Barry, so very steeep - all the steepness.
I mean honestly I've just looked at the street photos and you can angle it to look properly steep

I've only really consciously seen it this year (twice!) so the petiole thing has been in the front of my mind, though it's the flower that I notice first as 'odd'.

that might be S. x ambigua?
Marsh should have sessile middle leaves and I can see some petiole in the photo

Oh, wondered why the ones in my pics didn't look like they were flowering and its because they are seed heads ... 😬

were the cyclists all going downhill or what? If it wasn't steep they would have cycled the other way, but it was ... so they didn't
QED

😂

only spotted them I think because we were walking back up a fairly steep roadside and so I was walking a bit slower than usual and any excuse to stop for a bit (walked down the road looking at the waxcaps and spindles on the other side)

love that photo with your feet

so small, so very far down, such a long way back up after taking a photograph 😭 I would have been quite happy with just the one type of very small fungus if I'm honest.
