NORWICH: Arrhenia rickenii

Late October 2021

Walking into the city from Lakenham Way I noticed some small fungi growing amongst moss on a cobbled area. These turned out to be Arrhenia rickenii, one of a group of small species associated with bryophytes, often with widely spaced or vein-like gills.
