The images above show my little walk through the forestry, the mushrooms were the best part as I have not seen these anywhere else, I may have to do some secondary research for these as well to get a more varied idea of shapes, sizes and colours. I think this trip was very useful because it took away from home, and at the right time of year too because I managed to get photos of nuts as well which is very useful for some of the species diets. As well as interesting berries and branches, this trip was useful, and I would like to try and visit again to one that is closer to home due to the restrictions, there is one a couple of miles away I think I could walk or cycle too on a nice day.
We went for a drive up into the black mountains, where there is seemingly nothing for miles on end, but I always think this is such a nice place because it is so high up. We also stopped nearly at the bottom to take the rest of the photos when we spotted the growths on the trees and then found the interesting casings growing onto it.
