I saw White Spindles on Clopton Fields.

As autumn lingers on and the frosts stay away there are still plenty of fungi to see up the Welcombe Hills. Just keep your eyes to the ground and amongst the red, orange, green and white wax caps you'll very like see clumps of these White Spindles (Clavaria vermicularis). These and the yellow variety are grassland fungi and belong to a group that includes ones called coral fungi that have branched ends. These you will find in wooded areas amongst the dead leaves.
