Rosettes of beautiful, emerald green, translucent lobes.

Funny, little tufts of white rootlets on the underside of each lobe.

In shady places, closely appressed to the substrate, where there is unlikely to be much light shining through to show its true colours.

Blennothallia crispa

Mushroom season ramping up here :-)

These ones are white dome-caps - Leucocybe connata.

When your path marker-posts look like this, you know you are in for a boggy time! ^_^

These posts, show the insigna of the Dalriada Project, which built a path network around The Kilmartin Glen area. 

The path was new (and posts completely devoid of lichen) in 2010. 

The path I took - between Cairnbaan and Dunadd - is holding up fairly well. It has some really excellent plastic boardwalk sections, but there are some slippery stone slab sections and some very slippery wooden plank sections, which would make me shy of recommending it for anyone without good balance.

Back with the twisty, dead gorse bushes and a couple of nice fungi: burgundy drop - Mycena haematopus and Polyporus tuberaster which is showing true goblet potential here.
