Fantastic to sponsor Plantlife's reception on restoring grassland @Love_plants

Over 97% of the UK’s species-rich grassland has been lost in under a century.

So it was encouraging to meet many people passionate about reviving our grassland, like the Chair of Natural England🏞️

Heading to Westminster today to big up grasslands and aim for getting that Grassland Action Plan made a reality! Species rich/Waxcap grasslands are so vital and need recognition, restoration, renumeration and real protection @Love_plants @ChrisGPackham

@cpmlouise @ChrisGPackham @savebutterflies That is a leopard moth! Lovely fella.

Benefits of a wilder garden and #NoMowMay area! Counted over 20 of these little Dark Bush Cricket nymphs today! Can't wait for their evening summer serenade. @Love_plants

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

It's the 1st of May! That means the start of #NoMowMay Lots of things popping back up in the lawn, with another successful Yellow Rattle year it seems! Doesn't have to be your whole lawn, or even your garden, could be a verge or green space near you @Love_plants @ChrisGPackham

Really enjoy seeing the Cowslips come up every year! My local patch has some cracking swathes! @Love_plants #wildflowerhour #CowslipChallenge

Really splendid weekend at the @BSBIbotany recorders weekend at @FieldStudiesC Preston Montford. Met some ace people and reconnected with old friends. Plus a morning out on some interesting grassland together for some botany fun! #botany #wildflowers

@StevenFalk1 We miss the castle!

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

@davidjgibbs6 @sharkeee @LizLouise12 How funny after we were talking about it!

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

Such a great foray Sunday! Out with fungi friends old and new! The rain didn't stop us! Got to see Ear Pick!! Plus Hazel Gloves in a different place this time. Witches Butter, Blewit (Sordida), Citrine Waxcap, Crimson Waxcap, Honey Waxcap, Clustered Bonnets #fungi #waxcaps

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

@botany_beck @sharkeee @plantlife It could be Orange, although in a lot of places they are going over. Could also be a randomly chonky Honey.

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

@LizLouise12 @davidjgibbs6 @AlastairSteven7 It was such a blast! Loved the Ear Pick!! And all the waxcaps

[Mighty Moth Girl @MothMighty]

@Gardening_Miss @Love_plants These are Inkcaps. Inkcaps tend to be brown or grey, with dark gills as the spores are black. Waxcaps always have white spores, so tend to have pale and waxy gills. They are often bright colours like orange, red and yellow. Hope this helps.
