Cheeky Fungi

 A few photos of some of the fungi that are regulars in the meadow.
 A group of Macrolepiota procera fruiting bodies (Parasol Mushroom)
A looming M. procera
 These are pictures that I took at the end of August 2011. We had about 80 mushrooms appear over a period of about two weeks. Very tasty!
Scleroderma citrinum (Common Earthball)
Loads of these have been popping up this year. They're obviously enjoying the wet summer we've been having. They turn a nasty brown colour after a few days and split open, revealing a centre that is completely full of black spores.
