Some of the awesome ancient Yew Taxus baccata trees at Kingley Vale NNR. Impossible to age but a millennium seems possible. Far from the dark and poisoned habitat I imagined - light open woodland reminiscent of both Caledonian Pinewood and Australian eucalypt groves
Here’s a rare beauty for #mushroommonday, the stunning Crimson Bolete, Chalciporus rubinus. It has gorgeous carmine red, decurrent pores & red upper stem which gives it a very striking appearance. Very rare & classed as vulnerable on the ICUN red list, I left it undisturbed ❤️ #FungiFriends 🍄 📸
And here's a grown-up, adult Chernes cimicoides or Common Tree Chernes as they are known.
A nice discovery under flaking bark of a diseased tree, the tiny nymph of a Chernes cimicoides pseudoscorpion in its silk moulting chamber. The claws of the shed skin can be seen above the pale nymph. The bark was carefully replaced. #arachnids #pseudoscorpions

Have bicycles will travel. Norwich to Castle Acre (via train to Brandon), then a week cycling round quiet lanes, finding fungi and visiting churches and churchyards. Packing up and leaving our lovely cottage to cycle back to Norwich. Another lovely week away with @jeremybartlett.bsky.social
Extendable weasels are so much more useful around the home and garden than the old sort :)

"Hundreds of people will hold signs reading ‘I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action’ outside the first Labour party conference since Andy Burnham came to power, The action – planned by Defend Our Juries (DOJ) for the 27 September – is expected to result in mass arrests. " via Novara Media
"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.
