Join us for an autumnal walk in Allt Goch Woods, Llanidloes, on Saturday 29th October 2-4pm. Discover funky fungi, signs of small mammals and other autumnal wildlife we may stumble across #GreenConenctionsPowys montwt.co.uk/events/2022-10…

Look at these little beauties! Spent most of yesterday morning oogling at fungi in the forests near Machynlleth. The miniature Mycena and Marasmius fungi festooning beech nuts and twigs were by far the highlight. Just love 'em! 🍄💚🍂

@NatureLark I love this buttercup. We had one once here near #Llanidloes but I wonder if the seed came in with a plant pot as I've not seen any before or since... 🤔

@WalesOnline @simondboyes What an extraordinary young man Douglas was. G & I never met him either but feel privileged to have found out more this year about his important work, his passion not just for learning but also for sharing his knowledge. Our thoughts are with you both @simondboyes & @pickeletto
