Photos taken late October in Corcrain. All the pictures were taken in the Corcrain woodland area, except one from the Tandragee Road. |
|
 Autumn Each year in Autumn, many of the old trees in Corcrain, change colour before shedding their foliage. |
|
 Gate One of the entrances to the wilderness. |
|
 Shaggy Parasol In late September and October many strange new forms appear, in the wooded area. This is the shaggy parasol (Macrolepiota Rhacodes). Another specimen of this is found furthur down the page. |
|
 Yellow Fungus This unusual yellow fungus grows in abundance beneath the shelter of the trees. I am unsure of its identity but possibly a Xerocomus subtomentosus, but definately a Boletus of some form. Does that make sense? |
|
 Pestle Puffball Another unusual growth emerges from the tall grass. This is a pestle puffball (Calvatia excipuliformis) |
|
 Shaggy Parasol 2 This one looks like something that would help illustrate a fairy tale. It is a more mature specimen of the first fungus picture on this page. (Macrolepiota rhacodes) |
|
 Woody Nightshade A vivid purple and yellow flower of Woody Nightshade (Solanum dulcamara), struggles through the maze. |
|
 Berries The changing colour cycle of these berries is evident. |
|
 Blackberries A cluster of ripening blackberries brightens the greenery. |
|
 Colours The many splendoured colous of autumn |
|
 Leaf Changing colours with the rhythyms of nature. |
|
 Murrill Another group of stirring fungi. I think these are Meadow Wax-caps |
|
 Rose Hips Providing a splash of colour. |
|
 Unknown Fungus Tortoiseshell pattern growing in the short grass |
|
 Liberty Caps Little clusters of mushrooms break the monotony of the green carpet. These are Psilocybe Semilanceata |
