๐ Check out this beauty we found while out for a walk on UK Fungus Day last weekend! We are so lucky, to be able to call on expert mycologist Geoffrey Kibby, who told us new 2025 data makes it most likely C. amethystina rather than C. zollingeri (now just for Violet Corals in the U.S.) #rarefungi
Not the greatest set of pics, but after busy weeks of selling fungi ๐ books ๐ it was good to get out at the weekend to see a few real ones! ๐ #Fungi #NorthCumbria #FungiConnect

Borrowdale, Ash and Holly. The overall tree canopy colour in Borrowdale is still green. The birches and alders are going but not that much else. The bracken is well underway however and conspires to make things look autumnal even with the amount of green. #lakedistrict #leofoto #woodlandtrust
