A few mushrooms and toadstools are starting to appear now, a sure sign of Autumn.  Decided best not to pick and add to tonight's dinner or the kids could go to school tomorrow hallucinating.  They were in the woods at Bryn Euryn.

I saw some one picking "mushrooms"in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church last week.

There's a lot of "old man's beard" appearing now, showing up particularly where the wild clematis is draped over bushes which are losing their leaves.  Here are some pictures of development from the flowers to the "beard" stage.

I love the way the low sun enhanced the colour of this carline thistle.

I have enjoyed looking at all your recent photos on the forum Blodyn. Really lovely as always.
Here is a photo of a thistle and a gentian (I think) growing at an altitude of 2000 metres. The photos were taken last week in Switzerland.

Thanks, Hollins.   :)

Your second photo does indeed look like a gentian.  Despite its name, the ukwildflowers site also has photographs of European flowers and it's well worth looking at - the photographs are wonderful.

That's wild clematis with the seed heads developing.  If you look a bit further up this page there are some close-ups of it.  The plant is often called "traveller's joy" and this white, fluffy stage "old man's beard" - a name which put my sister off the plant when we were children.
