A lovely day #fungifriends wandering midst waxcaps in the Peak District 🥰 Finally caught up with & smelt the Cedarwood Waxcap & my first time seeing Bitter. A good day, 12 species of waxcap seen in total & if the possible Splendid is confirmed 13, not bad at all! Early for #mushroommonday 🍄 📸

Field Scabious, Knautia arvensis, still looking beautiful for this week’s #wildflowerhour🥰

Chiltern Gentian Gentianella germanica at Homefield Wood yesterday. Almost dipped it but @ghostofdatura.bsky.social found us a pristine one after several amarella false alarms. Wedge-shaped ‘wibbly’ corolla tube and trianglular leaves split it from Autumn Gentian #wildflowerhour
