A walk near Lough Corrib, Connemara, County Galway 



A fabulous day.


Came across these unusual but rather vibrant coloured mushrooms growing in very damp surroundings.


Name: Bog Beacon
Scientific Name: Mitrula paludosa
Edibility: not edible











This small yellow species can be found from Spring to Summer, often in considerable numbers in damp boggy woodlands between plant debris or leaf litter.
