Illustrating how rain washes off the loosely-attached white spots.
These Fly Agarics Amanita muscaria, were very small ones, slightly less than tennis ball size, in St John's Churchyard, Godley Lane, Rishworth.
Does anyone know of a good show of them anywhere?
They are invariably near birch trees, with which they have a mycorrhizal association.
Less disappointing was a small flowering patch of Autumn Crocus Crocus nudiflorus, not known from the records. (See calderdale-wildlife.blogspot)
