NORWICH: Hospital fungi and misc observations

Early November 2022

The silver lining to several hospital visits at the start of the month was noticing quite a bit of fungi between the wards and the car parks, and also Henbit Dead-nettle, which was apparently a new species for me. The most frustrating of the fungi were some cracked Paxillus species associated with Oak and Hornbeam. By rights these should not be Paxillus involutus, which is apparently found in woodland, usually with birch, but I was unable to get these to fit any of the alternative species.
