Drab bonnets
Smile on Saturday ๐
Theme: mushrooms
I was hoping that these were magic mushrooms when I first saw them but it turns out they are Mycena aetites, commonly known as Drab bonnets! They donโt contain any magical substances and are not highly prized as edibles.
As you might expect from its common name, the Drab Bonnet is a dull little mushroom that is easily missed; however, it is relatively uncommon throughout Britain and Ireland and generally only appears in cropped grassland that has not been treated with herbicides, insecticides or fertilisers.
