17th October 2023 - Andy and Polly M joined a lunchtime 'Autumn Walk' around Granta Park, led by Iain Webb from the Wildlife Trust. It has seemingly been a good year for fungi, since there was something new to see at virtually every step! A great walk!
From the Giant Puffball, bigger than a football, right down to tiny white Mycena toadstools bearly a centimetre across. Whilst it was not possible to identify everything we saw on the walk, I have tried to add names where I could from the photographs.
Giant Puffballs - each larger than a football

with a delicate fluting around the cap
Unknown, possibly a Waxcap species
A tiny one, barely a centimetre across.
Possibly a type of 'Porcelain' fungus.
