Pleated Inkcap
Wednesday, July 21st 2010
The latest rain has suited some of the species on the reserve! The damp weather has encouraged lots of fungi to fruit. This Pleated Inkcap was photographed by Michaela at the weekend. It has been seen here before but not recently. This small, delicate inkcap (Parasola plicatilis) is shaped like a Japanese parasol.
The most common of the British stinkhorns (Phallus impudicus) can also be seen (and smelled unfortunately)! around the site too.
This beautiful red slug was also enjoying the weekend rain!
