Most weeks I do a patrol of Colinton and Craiglockart Dells alongside Edinburgh's Water of Leith. I often pick litter, and always record the wildlife I see. Today, I spent some time looking at fungi, and here are a selection of what I found. The photos aren't all of the best quality, unfortunately, as the light wasn't great for taking pictures. First we have a Collared Earth Star with a coral fungus in the background.
The tiny little fungi in the photo below are, I think, Steely Bonnets
and the weird jelly like fungus below is possibly Tripe Fungus (but I'm really lost with this one!)
The Dells are great for fungi all year round and my favourite fungi I've found there are the Larch Bolete, which I found a month or so ago
and the Scarlet Elf Cups that appear in late winter

I find them fascinating...
What a great collection of finds! The Dells really are a treasure trove for fungi this time of year. Thanks for the virtual stroll.
Great finds, I love looking for the fungi.
Take care have a great day!
