Found some lovely fungi in Glenan Wood while looking for archaeological remains. This one is the flaming scalycap - Pholiota flammans, growing on rotting conifer stumps in what is now a burgeoning birch thicket.

I think this is rose moss - Rhodobryum roseum. There's a small patch of it growing next to the old village in Glenan Wood.

Green elf-cup fungi - Chlorociboria Sp.

July fly agarics - Amanita muscaria. Round here, they do often have an early flush and then come back again in Sept-Oct time. A heavy rain shower has knocked their spots off and rinsed some of the red out of their caps.

Winter on the wane! A view south to Arran from the top of Bar nan Damh, in Glenan nature reserve.
