For #MushroomMonday it was treat to see Porcelain Fungus, Oudemansiella mucida today. It looks so beautiful with the sunlight shining through the gills 🥰

- So proud of my daughter! Just over a year ago she & two friends were verbally & physically assaulted in our local park & this has left her with severe anxiety. She wasn’t going to attend the prom as she didn’t want to wear a dress but she did go & I reckon she rocked that tux!😍
- Replying to @botany_beckMy daughter and I are completely overwhelmed at the response to this tweet! She says thank you very much for all your wonderful and very kind comments, you have absolutely made her day!
- I wasn’t going to post anymore #fungi pics for a bit because I know I must be getting a bit annoying 😬 but then this happened!😱 I seem to have stumbled into a fairytale 🧚♀️ Even more Fly Agarics for #FungiFriday
- Late one afternoon this week we were surprised by an expanse of Snowdrops! Is there anything more joyful than a Snowdrop carpet, especially when it was unexpected 🥰😍 #WildflowerHour
- WOW! My favourite Amanita spot didn’t disappoint!!! I nearly lost my mind, a whole FAIRY RING of Fly Agarics, some as big as dinner plates!! #FungiFriday 🥰🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🧚
- Hidden deep within a tangle of brambles, I had to fight my way through to get to this beauty! Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria for #MushroomMonday 🍄 #Fungi
- I hadn’t seen it for a couple of years so it was extra special in early June to catch up with my #FavouritePlant! The gorgeous Mertensia maritima, commonly named Oysterplant, as the leaves taste like the fruits of the sea! Caithness #Wildflowerhour
- Really humbled & amazed by the response to my earlier tweet & to all the new followers too! Just whispering *I usually tweet an awful lot of plant & nature pics* ( like this gorgeous Fragrant Orchid with attendant Six-spot Burnet moth) in case you want to unfollow again now 😉😄
- I visited a tiny fragment of ancient woodland today & it was carpeted with thousands upon thousands of wood anemones. It was breathtaking! Not a soul there, just us & the sounds of woodpeckers thrumming, magical!💚#wildflowerhour #woodlandplants
- I’ve become very disillusioned with X & not been posting much. Realised though last night when running #wildflowerhour across 4 diff. platforms how fractured the nature community is becoming & that can’t be good! So here’s some Broad-leaved Helleborines looking fab this week! 😍
- It was a joy to see my first Scarlet Elf Cups of the year today. So love these vibrant little #fungi 😍❤️
- Sometimes there’s only one word to describe a waxcap and that’s phwoar!!!!!!!!😍Just look at this absolute beast! Seen today during an amazing day’s Waxcap hunting with @Matt_J_ecology @joshual951 & @DFoyLiv
