Hello Blue Skyers! Looks like I'm settling in and finding some of my X pals. 😊👋 I'm Sarah, and I love all things #nature especially #butterflies, #WildFlowers and #mushrooms. I'm based in #Lancashire and enjoy seeking out nature's treasure. #FungiFriends.

#JoinMeOnMyWalk The forecast was for rain all day, so I was very pleased to have a dry walk through my local ancient woodland today with blue sky at points too. Lots of #fungi to admire and bare tree crowns. Though still some leaves hanging on. @photohour.bsky.social #Lancashire #vitaminN
Lots of mushrooms popping up in my local woodland including bonnets, scarlet elf cups, turkey tails and earth tongues. Still some leaves hanging on, with one tree bottom right, determined to be the last one still dressed!

'By jove... She's found us...' A cheeky gathering of mica inkcaps hiding in the woods today, trying to evade being seen by camouflaging in the fallen leaves. #SaturdayFun #vitaminN #Lancashire

#FungiFriday and with it being Thanksgiving in the US it had to be turkey tails! 🦃These beauties seen yesterday, maybe the blue caused by frost this week. #fungi #mushrooms #Lancashire #vitaminN
Beautiful turkey tails seen this week, with a blue shade possibly caused by the drop in temperature earlier this week

#TitliTuesday & #TuesdayBlue combined, as I posted the female yesterday, here's the male silver studded blue caernesis from #NorthWales six months ago...hopefully more to see in 6 months time! @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #vitaminN
Stunning male silver studded blue caernesis, this is an even smaller subspecies of silver studded blue that live up the Great Orme and are smaller due to their location conditions
