Rainy day post

One thing about the weather at the moment is that there has been an explosion of fungi fruiting in and around the woods in Morpeth.

Still not certain of the identity of the top one but possibly Lepiota rhacodes var. hortensis, the one below is Shaggy parasol possibly of the variety bohemica. The Shaggy parasol pictures were taken just a day apart, the one below 7 inches across. Honey fungus along Ladies walk and a couple of Amanita's at Cottingwood, Blusher and Grey spotted amanita. The moth was in the house the other evening and I think it is a very worn Gothic.
