UK: two fungi and a lichen

As Monday seems to have become my nature diary day.... I managed to photograph a couple of speckled wood butterflies this week but as I included a link to other people's images last week I won't post them. The ones that got away this week were all red admirals, which I see at this time of year inexplicably fluttering around the eaves of buildings.

Lichen, possibly Candelariella reflexa.

Orange crust of lichen on rough tree bark

Two-trunked oak tree with orange crust of lichen on its southwest side

Earthball, presumably Scleroderma citrinum.

A cream-coloured ball fungus with darker scales

A cream-coloured ball fungus with a dark circular opening

Ink caps, probably Coprinopsis atramentaria.

A colony of small fawn-coloured mushrooms

This is nice to see - makes me nostalgic for living close to a woody area again.

I also chose my current home partly because I can see trees from ALL the windows, heh.
So lucky! There are lovely fields around here, though, and I'm close enough to woodsy areas to visit.
