Snail on Stropharia.
An excellent fungal foray with Liz Holden, mycologist and Grampian Fungus Group, to the sand dunes of St. Cyrus SNH National Nature Reserve. Which is already one of our favourite places, with its micro climate, at the bottom of cliffs. A surprise to see this fungus growing in sand and moss, I wouldn't have expected this to be suitable substrate at all. Sample taken for microscopy, so detailed id to follow. The tiny snail was a bonus.
