common_natureSeptember / October were dry and very warm, now we are in the middle of November and it's still warm but also very muggy. The autumnal fungi which we didn't see in October are now having a whale of a time turning up everywhere. I am not that good on Fungi and haven't got my books here with me. garienos' garden is growing Fly Agaric again which I can, however, identify.
I finally got into the field opposite the house here to take a photo of the skeletal tree (I think it's the remains of an Oak) in the hedgerow. There are a lot of Oaks in hedgerows, were we in Northumberland where I grew up it they would all be Ash trees.

These are some sort of Boletus growing under the birch trees he has beside his garage:
Not sure what these are, but they were growing in the pine woods round the lakes by his house:
So were these:
These grow in the field behindgarienos' house and are a type of Wax Cap called Witches Hats.
These are some others I will need to get the book out to identify:
The Datura growing in the field is now showing why it's called the Thorn Apple. Still a scary plant through and through, and the rabbits whose warren all the plants grow on seem to know it. I have never seen any if it nibbled.
