It’s almost a year since I published the post Groovy bonnets (on 27 November 2019), about a troop of Grooved bonnet fungi (Mycena polygramma) that was growing on a tree in the green space around a local church.

Since then, sadly, the tree they were growing on has mostly gone, blown down in one of our winter storms early this year – now, only the stump remains.

But the fungi were still there, living silently unseen beneath the surface, until now, when they are fruiting again.

And these gorgeous fungi are supporting other life – spot the millipede amongst the gills in my second photo.
