Fall into nature with Plantlife: Waxcap grasslands - Why we need your help.
We talk about Autumn colour and tend to look up at the leaves, but how many of us are aware of the vibrant colours at our feet? Waxcap fungi are found in grassy places that have had little disturbance and indicate ancient grasslands. They can be found in parks and gardens too. However, the places they are found are disappearing. Come and meet these fungi with wonderful names like pink ballerina and dark purple earthtongue. They will surprise us with their vibrant pink, orange and purple hues. Discover how you can help improve our knowledge of their distribution.
