Along the winding towpath on the Leeds to Liverpool canal at Apperley Bridge, West Yorkshire, England.
I think these are inkcaps (Coprinopsis atramentaria) well into the process of deliquescing, but in too nice a spot to ignore!

The white glow comes from the floodlighting at Firhill, during a game between Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers. Thistle won, the Raith Rovers website recording - The Dickensian fog was still a factor, with visibility poor. At pitch level, the players looked unaffected, but supporters peering through the gloom at MacDonald’s goal had their work cut out following the play.

The geotag location name is wrong yet again. This was taken on the New York side of the Delaware River.

The Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Burnley Wharf (the bridge is #130b, Manchester Road bridge)
Set into the towpath here, at either side of the bridge, are curved metal plates which once carried large gates which would have protected the wharf from flooding if the Burnley Embankment were breached. The power of the rushing water would have pushed the gates closed, allowing work to continue in the busy wharf
The building beyond the bridge is grade II-listed by English Heritage, and would have been used for the storage, loading and unloading of goods (mainly textiles and coal) onto narrowboats. The canal is widened here to allow the boats to turn round. The building next door, once a warehouse, was more recently a pub (The Inn on the Wharf), but has been closed and empty since Sept 2017. There were stables adjoining here for the horses which towed the boats.
Beyond the warehouse adjoining the bridge, is the former Toll and Wharf Master’s House; another Grade II listed building dating from c1850. This is now used as The Weavers’ Triangle Visitor Centre.
