Late season fungi twitch at UEA, 17 December 2025

Courtesy of some information from Jeremy I popped along to the UEA campus for a small fungi fix! 

Jeremy had found a couple of patches of Maroon Brittlestem, Psathyrella bipellis close to the medical centre there which was a new one for me. They were easily found with a few Redlead Roundheads close by and some lovely Elfin Saddles just a short hop and a skip away.

At Jeremy and Vanna’s while having a catch-up over a cuppa shortly afterwards I was able to feast my eyes on Shooting Star Fungus and also the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on it’s unfortunate Harlequin Ladybird host.
