WHITLINGHAM: October count & some fungi

9th October 2022

The October WeBS count was probably most notable for all the birds that weren't present, as there was no sign of wintering birds at all. I did manage to read eight Mute Swan rings but that was about it.

A loop back through the wooded edge of Whitlingham Lane at least turned up some nice fungi. Coprinellus xanthothrix was a new one for me, whilst nice but regular finds included Raspberry Slime Mould (Tubifera arachnoidea), Yellow Shield and Veiled Oyster.
