And I bring to you this Sunday…

A pretty little fungus… looks more like a flower
And lo! An undershot too…

I’m tempted to say it’s an Orange Milkcap. But then there are so many other milkcaps all of a similar colouring… we’ll say it’s a Milkcap and leave it at that

I see what you mean in your last reply! Yes these ones that look more like ordinary shaped mushrooms are often the hardest to narrow down!

Particularly since there several that vary in colour so little, though some are banded. I’m happy if I can fix the family.

They were everywhere on that walk. Oh look, it’s those again. What one might call Autumn Colour.

And I reckon most of the folks out walking their dogs don’t even see them.

Yes, I know you would. And I’ve a nasty suspicion that many of the destroyed fungi I find is the work of such walkers who, in ignorance, fear all fungi are poisonous.

Cute! Although the resemblance to a bagel occurred to me, and now I can’t see it any other way. I’m sure it doesn’t *taste* like a bagel!

I’m not sure if this one is edible. But since it’s called a milkcap because it oozes latex, I doubt it’s a good one for eating

I think the shininess of the cap is what makes it look like a bagel. Or maybe a glazed doughnut.

Not being a bagel or doughnut eater, to me they look like flowers. Or, leaves… the fallen leaves of the beech, since there were many around that day
