Fungus frenzy
Back from holidays and back to adding new species to the catalogue!
A couple of new fungi added to the list and a couple of new spiders for me, although one is already recorded on the reserve (Meta segmentata). Spider pics to follow since I left my camera at home.
The first fungus is Hebeloma pusillum, growing in association with willows on boggy ground. The second is Russula fellea, the Geranium Brittlegill (because it smells like geraniums). Other fungi were added to the year list, but weren't new (Wrinkled Shield, Woolly Milkcap, Clustered Toughshank, Redleg Toughshank)
The second spider is Drapetisca socialis, a Linyphiid which was in its expected niche of Beech tree bark.

Blushing bracket, Rosy Minor
Everything's coming up rosy these days
The blushing bracket, which likes willows, bruises pink and eventually becomes an outrageous red colour
This rosy minor was new for the reserve on 1st September. Pretty little thing.
