The only things left on the woodland floor ...
Millmoor Plantation in the afternoon - very dark so my mini-tripod came to the rescue. Most of the woodland fungi now seems to have gone or are decaying. Still a few of the yellow brittle gills about but these were being eaten by slugs.
I spotted more fungi in grassland than in the wood (such a change from my last weekends visit to Stoneycliffe Wood where there was fungi in abundance). Growing in grass: another single ink cap which I believe to be a very new shaggy ink cap (not even chewed) and a patch of Yellow Fieldcap which are well on the way to decaying (apparently they do this within 24 hours - thank you to Pat O'Reilly and his book `Fascinated by Fungi' for helping me to name this one). I also brought home a broken off fruit body which I believe to be a Snowy Waxcap. I spotted quite a patch of them on my way back down the hill - I always seem to find more when I'm coming back downhill than when I'm going up!
A morning visit to the market to buy fruit and veg and then the supermarket in Penistone. I'm not sure what's happened to the market traders - there seem to be fewer of them each week and it is a lovely space (but cold).
