Outney Common, 18 October 2023

While out and about in the Bungay area I opted for a wander around Outney Common that lays in a loop of the River Waveney. 

Mooching about in the willows and alders surrounding the fishing lakes and various oak and birch copses I found plenty of fungal fruiting bodies. Oakbug Milkcaps, Ugly Milkcaps and Blackening Milkcaps were exceptionally numerous but I also turned up some more unusual stuff. A curious chestnut-brown Russula sp under willows and sallows was distinctive to look at but may never be id'd without microscopy. Variable Webcap was another goodie with Witches Butter, Sulphur Tuft, White Dapperling, Brown Birch Bolete, Tuberous Polypore and Scurfy Deceiver being the best of the rest.
