Eleven of my favourite photos I took in November 2023 and month summary

The photos are of; mushroom at Lakeside Country Park, sunset at Milkham in the New Forest, Mute Swans at Weston Shore, autumn leaves at Lakeside, shaggy scalycaps at Lakeside, more autumn leaves at Lakeside, Mallard at Lakeside, teasel at Lakeside, Fallow Deers at Bolderwood in the New Forest, ivy in Winchester and Herring Gull at Lakeside.

November was a month of splendour for me, from the spectacle of watching a Short-eared Owl quartering at Farlington Marshes to the vibrant autumnal colour that blanketed the landscape. It was another very strong month of observing mushrooms for me from amethyst deceiver in a very strong year I've had for them to shaggy scalycap and many more enjoyed. Flowers such as gorse, wild carrot, white deadnettle and daisy hung on to bring some nice colour to my walks still with hawthorn berries, rose hips and memorably lots of holly ever present. The nights drawing right in has brought some special sky scenes to enjoy with it being a great month of moons and rainbows for me too. There was still a sprinkling of insect sightings with the likes of Red Admiral butterflies and Common Darter dragonfly in sunnier parts of the month, with it being another great month of spiders especially the Long-bodied Cellar spider seen well many times at home where it's been notable to see Grey Silverfish too.

The return of Redwings and Fieldfares easing us into winter has been notable in my month's birdwatching, with Brent Geese too. It was a special day at Farlington Marshes at the heart of the month also getting amazing views of Bearded Tits and Marsh Harrier. On my Lakeside walks I have gone nicely into the exciting birding days of winter with different birds being about, most notably the two redhead Goosanders which it has been an honour to see a few times so close to home. Cormorant, Kingfisher, Mistle Thrush, Grey and Pied Wagtail, Siskins and returning Tufted Ducks have been other Lakeside highlights this month. Long-tailed Tit and Kestrel were other standout species this month. For mammals across the month at Lakeside and in the New Forest I was treated to gripping views of charming Roe and Fallow Deers seeing a young Roe at Lakeside and rutting action in the forest with the Fallows. I saw a fair few Grey Squirrels and enjoyed New Forest pannage pigs again too.

At an elevation of 4,308 ft (1,313 m) above sea level, Bald Knob is a commanding high point from which to view Canaan Valley and the undulating ridges of the Allegheny Mountains to the west. A hike to the summit, via Canaan Valley Resort State Park, can be either challenging or easy, depending on the mode of ascent. For those wanting to test their endurance and stamina, a trailhead adjacent to the ski area will gladly accommodate, with a 900 ft (274 m) vertical rise in about a mile of constant climbing. On the other hand, a visitor can opt for a $5 lift ticket at the ski area and hike essentially downhill from there. Either way, the reward is a breathtaking panorama of some of Central Appalachia's wildest country.

From top: the edible “haws” of one of the many hawthorn trees (Crataegus) that grow in these mountains, providing a valuable food source to wildlife; the bright, clustered berries of the American mountain ash (Sorbus americana), like hawthorn, a member of the Rosaceae family; whorled wood aster (Oclemena acuminata), a lovely mountain aster whose bunched, tightly-alternating leaves give the appearance of being whorled; and a Pholiota mushroom, most likely shaggy scalycap (squarrosa), growing in the hitch of a red spruce tree (Picea rubens).

I'm gonna change how I do these, and make posts with what I find on a foray or walk, instead of individual posts for mushrooms.

🍄 Exploring the fascinating world of fungi! Meet Pholiota squarrosa, commonly known as the shaggy scalycap. 🌲 This unique mushroom boasts a cap covered in shaggy scales, giving it a distinctive appearance in the forest. 🍂 But its beauty goes beyond looks – P. squarrosa plays a crucial role in nature by aiding in the decay of trees. 🌳 As it breaks down organic matter, it contributes to the nutrient cycle, highlighting the intricate balance of ecosystems. Nature's recyclers at work! 🌍

01/12/2023-Lakeside and home

Pictures taken in this set are of: 1. A Collared Doves on the frosted tiles of a winter's morning. 2, 5, 8 and 10. Views on my lunch time walk at Lakeside, the drama and mood of winter was palpable. 3. Black-headed Gull on a buoy at Lakeside. 4. An eyecatching piece of pineappleweed, one of two hardy bits still in flower, one I always enjoy seeing which I've had another good year for. 6. Sky towards sunset this evening. 7. The cool scene of a Magpie on a frosted roof. 9. The splendid Common Gull at Lakeside, I was thrilled to see this bird again after Tuesday getting some excellent and intimate views of this bird I love seeing.

I was also delighted to briefly see a Fieldfare in the meadows late in the walk with possibly Redwings too, the first patch Fieldfare for me since two winters ago in early 2022 so that was nice. A cheery charm of Goldfinches, close of views of Robin, Blackbird, Mallard, Great Crested Grebe, Coot, Moorhen, Woodpigeons, Carrion Crow and more exciting Jay views this week were other Lakeside bird highlights. The sight of perhaps more Herring Gulls than I'd ever seen on beach lake at once before about three and four like the Common Gull possibly drawn here by colder weather was great too and I was transported to the seaside by their eerie wails. Daisy, rose hips, hawthorn berries, lichen in the southern fenced off area and exuberant turkey tail and waning shaggy scalycaps in the way of fungi nearby which I've enjoyed before were also really good to see. At home Goldfinches, House Sparrow, Starlings and Jackdaw immersed in frosty scenes too and otherwise were good to see too as were firethorn berries out the front and Long-bodied Cellar spider and Grey Silverfish. A quintessential winter's day.

A week into October, the slightest bit of color has crept into the Cheat River Canyon. Peak is still weeks away. In the meantime, there’s plenty of mushroom action to enjoy, including enormous colonies of Laetiporus sulphureus (mostly past their prime) sucking the life from their doomed oak tree hosts.

Painted Suillus - Suillus pictus

Shaggy Scalycap - Pholiota squarrosa

Yellow Patches - Amanita flavoconia

I have no idea what the hell kind of mushroom that thing on the bottom-right is. Possibly a jelly fungus or some sort of coral.

Shaggy scalycap (Pholiota squarrosa)

These fungi are not edible, and some guides report them to be toxic, concerning given their resemblance to some species of honey fungi, Armillaria sp., which are often gathered for the pot - I spent some time myself deciding whether these were scalycaps or dark honey fungi (Armillaria ostoyae), which are considered edible when properly cooked. 

The beautiful fat mutant in the last two photos appears to be the result of the stipes of two bodies in this densely growing bunch fusing together,
