Winter is not a dead season. A bright sunny morning stroll through frosty Filnore Woods provides lots of opportunities for spotting wildlife stuff.
Next year's buttercups are growing merrily and a bit of frost shows up their distinctive leaf shape.
And growing on a dead tree trunk, here is a cluster of Velvet Shank fungi.
Tidying up the world, as fungi do, this species is one that decomposes a lot of dead elms following Dutch Elm Disease. The clump shown here though, was on a dead Silver Maple stem in the old tree nursery (see the map on the leaflet - black menu bar at top of blog).
