Yellow fieldcaps (Bolbitius titubans)

These delicate little mushrooms fruit on rotting hay or grass, or sometimes dung. They emerge as pretty, bright yellow little heads, and within the day will open up fully and lose their colour.

Let’s hear it for yellow fieldcap!

Yellow fieldcap 》 Bolbitius titubans

Greeted by this cutie as soon as I stepped into the park!

I made an iNaturalist account recently and have been posting everything on there too (link in bio). It's been very cool so far! I joined in a project to catalog plant and animal species in my county. 🍄🕷🐝🌾🌿🌻🦎🦅🦇

[sorrellegiance]

took the bus up to the library to get a new sticker for my map and the librarian also helped replace my library card :))

then i walked up some more to a hill that is a park and walked around it twice looking for mushrooms - found a handful on the slopes (very muddy and slippery)

then i walked down to another park and a little farm and next to the farm and a stand of pine trees i hit PAYDIRT

March end of month post 1 of 3: Ten of my favourite plant and fungi photos I took in March 2024

Not quite the end of the month yet I know but as my March end of month posts are coming in three parts and I put them together on Thursday I thought I'd post one each night today, tomorrow and Sunday; tomorrow night at a similar time the post on ten of my favourite landscape and sky photos I took this month shall post and on Sunday ten of my favourite wildlife photos I took this month.

The photos in this set are of; daffodils and hyacinth at Lakeside Country Park, scarlet elf cup and jelly ear at Testwood Lakes, yellow fieldcap at Portland Bill, snake's-head fritillaries at Lakeside Country Park a sensation of my month as it often is in March, daffodil in Romsey, periwinkle in Winchester, wood anemone at Lakeside and common whitlowgrass at Denny Wood in the New Forest.

What a joy it has been to watch many more colourful floral delights emerge in March, many of them early in the theme of the year. Red and white deadnettle, speedwell, seas of lesser celandine, green alkanet, snowflakes, opposite-leaved golden saxifrage, herb-Robert, gorse, bluebells, primroses, ivy-leaved toadflax, cowslips, violet, daisies and dandelions have been other highlights as spring firmly took its grip. It's interesting that this is my fourth spring of really being into flowers and looking to identify all I've seen etc and whilst I'm so much more used to the species now there's always something to learn and I've seen some new ones this month which stood out so it always feels good. Turkey tail was another mushroom I saw a bit of this month as it was pleasant to encounter a few about.

Passed some wayward mushies on my walk this morning. A friend tentatively suggested they could be yellow fieldcaps (grown from fertiliser applied to the grass), but I know nothing about mushrooms personally.

[persephonaae]

Todays mushrooms! Always trying to get better at this, we got some splitgill, some yellow fieldcap, and possibly something in the laccaria genus?

Yellow fieldcap (Bolbitius titubans)

Always so sweet to see these when they’re young and bright yellow before they expand and quickly turn greyish
