A Woodland Floor in Autumn

Now that we are into late Autumn, a walk in my local woods has become rather soggy underfoot and the sight and smell of decay is evident through the understorey.

Although there is still a chance of seeing late season insects on any remaining sunny days, new life is emerging through the damp leaf litter of the woodland floor.

Minotaur Beetle (Typhaeus typhoeus) (male) 

Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)

I photographed this specimen on three consecutive days.

The Blusher (Amanita rubescens)

False Death Cap (Amanita citrina)
