Lichens, Bryophytes, Fungi and some Plants.
South West, England
Joined October 2015
Golf courses were accessible during lockdown so I explored a local one yesterday before lockdown finished and found 26spp of bryophyte plus: Tulostoma brumale, Geoglossum cookeanum and an Entoloma which I think will eventually key to Entoloma sericeum.

Tried out a theory for finding Colura calyptrifolia today and found a tiny patch in just 10 mins. Not sure if the theory works or was just lucky!

Tiny Mycena tenerrima with cap just 4mm across growing on Fraxinus trunk. The white pad in front of it I think is the start of another one

This one was growing directly on Syntrichia ruraliformis which I think is Arrhenia spathulata.

I often see Bryum argenteum but mostly without capsules. Must prefer this habitat to pavements.

This one without appressed leaves I think has the distinctive leaf shape of Rhynchostegium megapolitanum

Despite the cold weather fungi could still be found in Abernethy, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum being my favourite find.

Wrinkled Peach can still be found on dead Elm trunks, I've seen many records for this species this autumn.

On calcareous rock, intially thought it looked interesting but perhaps just Dermatocarpon miniatum

Interesting one this morning with leaves that are concave but not to the edge. I believe it's Cirriphyllum crassinervium #bryophytes

Here's one I found earlier this year. I believe it's Diploschistes muscorum growing over Tortella tortuosa @BLSlichens

Growing on Pine tree trunk. 1st impression was Parmeliopsis but with a UV- and instant K+ yellow reaction this would more likely be Imshaugia aleurites from the New Forest @BLSlichens
