Hazel Glove fungus (Hypocreopsis rhododendri) is an indicator species of Atlantic rainforest, a rare and declining habitat within the UK. This local patch of Hazel scrub isn't recognised on any Ordnance Survey map from the last 120 years! Perhaps unacknowledged rainforest?

Ooooo!

It’s the best time of year!

It’s when my pasture is grazed low on purpose so my bloody lovely #waxcap fungi get to shine like the beauties they are!!

Only a few out so far, but I can almost smell the rest just waiting to make an appearance!

Pleased to take some members of the Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire to #LyeValley #fen to appreciate everything about the remarkable Grass of Parnassus, still flowering in abundance in a restoration area. Thanks to C. Hoskin for the photo. @friendlyevalley

[Billy Fullwood @BotanyCornwall]

@FinleyHutchins2 @BSBIScotland @Sibthorpia Look at that landscape 😍

[Judy Webb @judyweb32049878]

Grass of Parnassus in #LyeValley #fen #SSSI seems to get well pollinated despite deceiving insects with its branched 'false nectaries' - groups of shining globules, look like nectar drops, but give none.... here just a variety of inverts searching,or just resting, in the flowers.

@Ol_LynchEco @bitheolaidhe @friendlyevalley It was incredible! I mentioned to Jake how I'd wanted to see it, and not 15 seconds later there was oodles of it! Would love to see it up close 😍

[Billy Fullwood @BotanyCornwall]

@bitheolaidhe and I travelled to @friendlyevalley today to see the fantastically diverse calcareous fen. Whilst Jake ogled some plant rusts, I was held in awe by the gorgeous Grass-of-Parnassus (Parnassia palustris)- a species I have dreamed of seeing!

[Billy Fullwood @BotanyCornwall]

@plantsci @Cambridge_Uni @ApseyLottie @bitheolaidhe A well deserved victory!

Autumn Lady’s-tresses (Spiranthes spiralis) was quite frequent on short dune turf at Gwithien in Cornwall this week, always lovely to see #wildflowerhour #orchids

[Iain Darbyshire @IainDarbyshire1]

The improbable Babington’s Leek (Allium ampeloprasum babingtonii) almost 2m tall at Gwithien Towans, Cornwall - a British (including Channel Is) endemic. Hard to miss! #wildflowerhour

Nice morning on the locally restored heathland near my house. Despite the muggy weather a few Whitethroat,Wheatear & Chiffchaff around along with all the regular bits & bobs.

[Billy Fullwood @BotanyCornwall]

@judyweb32049878 @Ol_LynchEco @bitheolaidhe @friendlyevalley Jake and I were very impressed with the work carried out by your dedicated volunteers. It's a shame we didn't come on Sunday to see them at work!

[Billy Fullwood @BotanyCornwall]

Had a brilliant few days in Oxford for @BUCBotany 2024! Everyday was jam-packed with inspired talks, good food, and most importantly- botanical fun! Here's to @BUCBotany 2025! 🌱

What a tree! 🌳😍This Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) has a diameter of well over 2 meters. Hard to translate the size in pictures. Probably one of the most impressively big trees I have come across in the UK #trees #SummerBankHoliday @AncientTreesATF
