Colourful Fungi

Whilst out enjoying the autumnal leaf colours remember to look down occasionally to discover the colourful fungi around at this time of year.

This scarlet waxcap (Hygrocybe coccinea) was found in an area of grazed unimproved grassland. The Hygrocybe group of fungi come in a range of attractive and vivid colours.

Worth watching where you tread!
