| | | Puffballs
A few years ago I found a super piece of grassland/mossland in Runcorn, Cheshire, that has provided many fine pics over the years. The ground includes a raised bank. Trees scattered throughout include silver birch, cherry and willows. Several puffball species are found plus fly agaric, cep, birch, bay and red-cracked boletus, puffballs, lawyer's wig, cortinarius sp., lactarius sp., mycena sp., paxillus etc etc. I am no expert but I reckon at least thirty species to i.d. if an experienced mycologist had a look. I took pics on 5th October 2010, of 2 puffballs - calvatia exipuliformis and lycoperdon perlatum, I think , birch boletus, cortinarius sp., and fly agaric.

Hi Dave, welcome to WAB.
Looks like you have a good place for fungi there. Got a bit of a soft spot for puffballs and the two white ones are very photogenic.

Runcorn is quite good for botany is well, or at least the landfill site at Moore just outside Runcorn. I've found some nice plants there including Garden Angelica and American Galingale. There's some woodland there that might be worth investigating for fungi. |
