Faecal Fungi

One of the 'alternative' highlights of our walk on Ashdown Forest yesterday was looking down (rather than looking up at the clouds and the landscape) and appreciating the diversity of life on the animal tracks across the Forest that we were largely following.

With that in mind, today's Blip features the fungal life growing on a humble cow pat, deposited by the cattle grazing on our local heathland, the Chailey Commons.
