Oliver and I had another trip Crags and we managed to find the Pholiota flammans beaming brightly from the edge of a fallen dead pinus trunk It is said to be rare and mainly found in the Scottish Highlands, but after careful examination the spores came up trumps and if I knew then what I know now, I would have taken some better photographs!

Nice one Alison. It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAt the first glance it appears as A,muscaria till you see the gill colour. James needham records one entry as " Crimsworth Dene" on a stump.
