Typhula capitata

This picture of a tiny club fungus first appeared on the blog on the 14th. July this year. At that time we had no identification. I'm pleased to report that we have found out that this delicate little beauty goes by the name of Typhula capitata and is the latest new addition to our species list. Unfortunately there is no common name. It is still in evidence on the dead Hawthorn branch but is now 'going over'.

Although the weather has been dry of late there is still plenty of fungi to be seen. Along the beck there are Common Puffball whilst some of the dead Willow trunks have fresh bracket fungus which have interesting pore patterns as you can see from the next photo.

Work continues apace on the moorland whilst at the new hide the bridge is almost across the little valley.

There are lots of ladybirds to be found and a visitor reported seeing a Treecreeper whilst coming up from the beck.
