Shipley Glen Fungi. 1 Jan 2026
Another wander through Shipley Glen with my macro lens. The same fungi were found in different places in the Glen, their appearance can vary quite a bit so I hope I am somewhere near with IDs. This time I have tried to group them by type and not chronologically. The header image is of a…

Fungi Along Baildon Bank, Walker Wood & Midgeley Wood. 29 Dec.
On Monday afternoon I went for a walk along Baildon Bank, behind Baildon Green into Midgeley Wood and Walker Wood looking for fungi with my camera and ring-flash.
