Super contrast with the poppy fields. Good work.

One of the joys of my garden, in which I have a lot of rotting wood, is that it encourages various fungi. I think this is a species of Parasola mushroom. It's beautiful.

I put the moth trap out every Friday night and record the results for the Garden Moth Scheme. This was the star of the show, a very cuddly Lobster Moth

Lovely photo!
It's not from the parasol family though. It's from the ink cap family.

Another phone pic. A while back at Buttercups Goat Sanctuary.

Yes, it did change, but I thought you wrote parasol, which was part of the lepiota family.
To be honest, I get really confused with the name changes, and the whole Keep Pond Clean Or Froggy Gets Sick ordering, lol.
All I know is that that mushroom resembles an ink cap and not a parasol.

I am not any kind of expert on fungi. I just like them. However the info I read says the two genus' (apparently not all Coprinus were reclassified) both have species which are classes as inkcaps. However regarding the one I pictured, you definitely have a better idea than me!

I'm no expert either. I've just gone mushrooming for years and built up a little bank of groups in my head that I can roughly identify. I regularly use a mix of the Latin with common names, too, so in all honesty I likely don't have a better idea than you, lol.

Bee Eater taken in Spain last week.
Yes, it's a small reservoir near the top of Gschwandkopf, a 1500m 'peak' between Seefeld and Moesern. I never see those colours in a British reservoir
.And, thank you. As you know... Austria makes good photos easy.

Any winter skiing in very close proximity? Reason I ask is the Alps have thousands of those to feed water to snow cannons.
