garienos has his own little heathland growing by his garage where I was taking pictures of Fly Agaric yesterday, we thought we might go and visit some actual proper stuff in the sun today. There was a veritable fairy-fest of Fly Agaric in the oak woods on the edge of Walberswick marshes.

There were great numbers of Fly Agaric growing in the oak woods, but on the return journey we found this patch growing so I took photos:




We also met this beauty in the hedgerow on the side of the road while going back to the car:
