Since we started doing #NoMowMay in 2020, I’ve been hoping for an orchid to pop up in my lawn. But I’ll take two Pink Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis)!
AKA Ballerina Waxcap… of course they are 🩰

They seem to have slowed now but this has definitely been an excellent year for Boletes. I’ve seen many species for the first time this year, including Devil’s Bolete, Bilious Bolete, Inkstain Bolete, Oak Bolete, a white Penny Bun & more! #Fungi #Mushrooms 🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫
