Woodland Work

Friday, November 8th 2019

Work was carried out in the conifer block above Risedale Beck. Whilst working, there was time to stop and marvel at the many fungi still appearing.

There was an almost complete fairy ring.

Most of these fungi are associated with conifers. You can see the thick bed of needles that the fungus is growing through.

This photo takes a little bit of concentration.

Once that work was completed, preparation continued for tomorrow's Worky Day. The forecast is dry but after the heavy rain of the last few days the reserve is very wet.
