South Dykes, Flamborough - 28th October 2021

 

Something completely different this morning! June and Malcolm F invited me to walk with them to look for fungi around south dykes. Fungi are not my forte and I have no idea how to identify them from thousands that look very similar! If I see them, I love to photograph them, but identification remains rather "difficult". I learned a lot this morning and bow to the knowledge of my mentors. I have a couple of books on fungi identification, but as with most guides, very few in the wild look like those in the books! I also learned that age, wet and dry weather also alters the colour and appearance of fungi! Thank you June and Malcolm for tolerating me today!
