The numbers of wildflowers diminish while we still wait upon the autumnal plethora of fungi. But here are some. Enjoy
You can see how small these are by the size of the moss surrounding them
These had sprung up during the morning. Not there when I passed on the way out, yet there when I returned.
Found these while taking photos of the sunset on Breydon Water.
All summer, trying to get a decent photo of this mint. Finally, at summer’s end…
Such a common plant, much ignored. Yet it’s one of my favourites
Fungi, the alpha and omega… hope you enjoyed.
Do not wish to appear pedantic but your bullrushes are actually reedmace, the confusion stems from Sunday school pictures of, “Moses in the bullrushes,” which always showed reedmace and thus were ingrained into our psyche.

I appreciate you being pedantic, since the confusion of names has caused many a trip. And thus I did consult my (2003) field guide which says, in brief, the plant we now know as Bulrush used to be more commonly known Reedmace.
Basically, I don’t care what it’s called.

I’m happy to say my explanation is backed up on plantlife.org.uk, but both names can be used anyway so no worries

I’d have gone for reedmace. But I looked in my guide book and couldn’t find it. Then found the guide’s explanation… as you say, both names are used

Sadly I think this highlights the loss of education caused by the decline of the Sunday school, I loved it

That does look like a meringue or even a swirled potato! Great pictures, Crispina

With your own photo among “Flowers and Fungi,” we will group you among the flowers, not the fungi. Though, it should be said, you do have some pretty fungi.

Thank you, Brian. Are you implying in your subtle round about way that I might be regarded as pretty? Don’t feel you need to answer that. I tease

I have rarely been accused of subtlety. Which is not to say I don’t have any. 😉

The fungi is impressive. I have only seen anything similar once all summer here in Ohio.

Fungi tend to be more prolific during autumn months… so keep your eyes open now

Aw, Entangled, you are a flatterer. Although I admit, if I hadn’t been happy with the photo I wouldn’t have posted it.

Ah, that’s because I’ve changes it again. This is supposed to be Dark Purple. It isn’t. It’s more like Burgundy. But I’ve got used to it now and I might keep it

I like it! But had you picked a shade lighter or darker, I would have like that too. I guess, what I mean is, if you like it, then I love it. 🙂❣️
