The Netted Fieldcap - Bolbitius reticulatus

The Netted Fieldcap – Bolbitius reticulatus. A rare fungus found on our first ever trip to the threatened Rough Wood at Longshaw. We have just one other record in the Sorby area. I did microscopy on this as it looks like a small Pluteus – like Willow Shield – but the spores are pale brown, not pink. It was confirmed by fungi experts at Wild About Britain.
