Stobswood

I was going to go to Harwood this morning but the fog was quite thick so I went to Stobswood instead. The highlight was a manure heap beside the Steadsburn near the old Junction inn. The fungi is Redlead roundhead. This species used to be rare but with the increase in distribution of bark chippings it has become more widespread. The yellow fungi looks like some sort of slime mould on the head of grass. the plants are Small nettle and Red Goosefoot all growing on an old manure heap at Stobswood.
