Part 3 Fungi

Plenty of fungi around, all in one field, many different types?

Russ

Hi Russ,
Going back to your flower posting from 16 Nov., the only one that was instantly obvious to me was photo 2 - Viper's Bugloss (unless I'm corrected). The others require deeper research. Hope you're not too depressed to be heading home !!
Cheers, Chris

Hi Russ,

I can identify the flowers as follows:
Photo 2 : Viper's Bugloss
Photo 6: Snapdragon family : Toadflax and I believe this is Common toadflax (linaris vulgaris) / These flowers are said to attract the small skippers but I have personally never observed it. I have seen bumble bees on them but never any butterflies.
Photo 11 : It is one of the Verbascum or Muellein flower (I am not sure which one).
I can't help you with the other plants unfortunately.
Hope this helps,
Sylvie

My attempt at the flowers:
Vipers Bugloss
Michaelmas Daisy
?
?
Common Toadflax
Yarrow or Sneezewort
Field Scabious
?
Some sort of Spurge
a Mullein of some kind

Hope that helps

Hi Chris, Viper's Bugloss seems correct, well done and yes I'm a little sad to be going home but I get to see my lovely grand-children again.
Cheers Russ

Hi Silvie and Bugboy, Thanks for your comments, you both seem to suggest the same names for the same flowers which shows you are both knowledgeable.
I only knew Michelmas-daisies and the Scabious(didn't know which one ) so thanks again to both of you.
