Earthstar!

Always wanted to see one of these, and on today's dog walk, the route I have taken for several years, I noticed a small group whilst picking up after the dog!

Pretty sure it is Collared Earthstar, despite the lack of a collar, due to the fairly big size, and the fact some of the other Earthstar species are as good as extinct in the UK.

Still finding Fungi a real nightmare to get to grips with.. This my 22nd species! I suspect I've seen the same number again which I haven't been able to put a name to.
