Back at the end of October me and Mrs PB had a few days away in Chichester, and very lovely it was too. Whilst there we took a trip to both WWT Arundel, and RSPB Pulborough Brooks. This first part (quite short) at Pulborough came about because I misunderstood the website and opening times. I thought the trails would be open 24 hours, but the cafe, welcome hut, shop etc wouldn't open until 9ish. I didn't realise the only access to the trails was through the Welcome Hut, and being early birds we were there by about 8. What to do? Luckily, from the car park, a trail was marked for fungus spotting, up through some adjacent woodlands. Unfortunately, I only had my big lens with me, so the following pictures are the best I could muster, having to stand at least 15 feet from the subjects!!
All the fungi were labelled, and of course, me being a bit of a muppet, didn't photograph any of the signs, so now can't remember what any of them are
Shaggy something?
Staghorn bottom left (I think)
Purple something maybe
One of the brackets perhaps
Bubble something?
Clumping Golden Cap (made up name)
Oyster something?
Clumping Extra-Golden Cap (made up name two and too)
Devils Tooth Lung (meh... whaddo I know? lol)
If a toadstool falls in the field, and there is no one to hear it..... does it make a sound?
I've a few to catch up with, the rest of Pulborough, WWT (keep an eye out for the Pelican!) and a couple of forays back at home
Thanks for reading
Stay Safe All
A good selection PB, not seen the 'Bubble something' before . P.S. I think all fungi should carry a label...
There were probably 20 more I didn't get photo's of, mainly due to only having the big lens. If I'd taken any of the other lenses it would be a much longer post lol
Great range of fungi and you probably wouldn't have seen any of those if the VC and cafe were open !! Shaggy Parasol maybe for fist photo.....maybe the purple one is amethyst deceiver .... Clavicorona maybe for the white teeth ..... who knows
