The Autumn Fungi Season Starts with a Cracker! 4 September 2024

Very conveniently I was due to drive into Norwich yesterday anyway - just when Jeremy and Vanna had discovered a rare and rather lovely fungus.

The location was Sycamore Wood, just off Waterworks Road and the fungus in question Flame Shield. With good directions it was an easy find being visible from the path on a rotting fallen tree trunk. Fortuitously a shaft of sunlight was also lighting the cluster up perfectly! Also nearby was a patch of Yellow Shields and the long-established Giant Ash Bracket on a now felled willow stump.
