On the way there were various distractions; snow-cracked prone willows had to be cut down to restore the pathways, and I oohed and aahed at the bubbling of the new tadpoles and the fresh flush of primroses.
This Green Woodcup (or Green Elfcup) caught my eye, as it always does. I am a stickler for picking up rogue bits of plastic and twine, so I always check out patches of unnatural colour. Only this is entirely natural, and a pleasure, not a pain.

I love fungi but that is one I've never been fortunate enough to see. I must keep my eyes open now I have a better idea what I'm looking for.
Well you have taught me something. Until today I never even knew that Chlorociboria aeruginascens existed!
that's amazing, Mopsa. Thanks for that!
I've never seen one before. Love the colour.
I've learned something too but shall refer to it by its common name -far easier to remember.
And tadpoles too - ours are still in the manufacturing process.
It always amazes me - I still ooh and ahh at it!
SS - it's a beauty - I've only ever seen it in damp woodlands.
YP - I knew I was good for summat.
Fpot - you're welcome
Welshcakes - it's not ubiquitous, but I see it here every year.
M'ear - them tadpoles are wiggling and squirming like mad.
Paula - let's ooh and ahh!
