It is a wonderful morning the sun is shining and there is a pleasant fresh breeze. The Stinkhorn has grown but then something has broken it. All week I’ve been waiting then it ends in tragedy.
First here is a picture of East Lomond looking grand in the early light.
Now for some snaps of the upset.
This is the original one which has done very well to last a week.
This is the stump of the new one.
This is the smelly bit but it didn’t smell too bad at all. There are still two to go so all is not lost.
I’ll have a stroll later and see what has happened to this one.
I have noticed a white mould covering several fungi and have never seen it before nor can I find anything about it.
Very strange, it is dry to the touch and doesn’t smell. This is the normal mould that appears on rotting fungi and horse muck .
Spinellus fusiger I think it’s called.
I’ll leave you with a perfect specimen.
I am not sure but think this is The Blusher, Amanita rubescens. If not then it’s something else.
