The blusher (Amanita rubescens).One of this year’s projects on the farm is to extend the Farm Flora Guide beyond herbaceous flora and into other areas. The herbaceous flora section itself has been constantly updated as new species have been found and better photo’s taken, and we will soon be adding three new sections, all of which are currently in progress – trees, ferns, and fungi. So, as a little behind-the-scenes glimpse to whet your whistle on a wet autumn day, here are a few fungi photos taken on the farm….

Nice pictures.
Is the Trametes your picture? Found this being used on another blog: http://hughtaylorsphotos.blogspot.com/2010/07/tramete-versicolor.html
Hi Katie
This blog entry and photos are by Hugh Taylor who used to work on the farm. He identifiead and photographed over 350 of the plant species on the farm and created a book for us called a celebration to biodiversity. If you look at the bottom of the blog entry it does say its by Hugh.
Thanks. Nice hotel you have there.
