Clavulinopsis fusiformis |
Many of the species found in Kingston cemetery are typical of unimproved grassland and reflect a management regime sympathetic to both flora and fauna. Golden spindles have a pointed end not to be confused with blunt-ended grassland species known as clubs.
These horse mushrooms were enormous!

The orange peel fungus at the Dawson Road entrance is even more spectacular than 2 weeks ago. Birds had left the remains of the poisonous yew seeds on one of the graves after consuming the red arils.
We are trying to compile a list for the Cemetery to raise the importance of fungi.See below for earlier species.
