Photo of the speciemen of the rosy bonnet fungus, looking a little the worse for wear, alongside my illustration of it on a sheet of white paper. The mushroom has a pinkish brown silky cap, pale gills and a pale stipe flushed pink. Both specimen and illustrations have soil and moss and bits of dead leaf on the stipe.

Had an amazing day at #Fungitown in #HayonWye today, sat upstairs painting this gorgeous pink-flushed Rosy bonnet #mushroom, Mycena rosea.

So many fascinating people to talk to , and so much sharing of #fungal inspiration and ideas. A privilege to be there
