Comments:
Weather wet and a surprising lack of larger mushrooms and also autumn mushrooms around. We did find a few blewits and honey mushrooms through. The Hymenoscyphus virgultorum identification should be taken with a pinch of salt. I think it may be a European name but I don’t know what else to call it (Richard Jacob).

Also plenty of unidentified Mycena.
