As mentioned in the previous post, this October I headed up to Clumber Park to go on a weekend long foray with some very knowledgable chaps! On the first day we found this lovely eyelash fungus

And this collared earthstar. I'd always wanted to see one of these.

Fascinating! The birds nest is certainly interesting. Never seen anything like it before.
Great macro shots!
