Slime moulds
Notice the small brown patch on the top left of the photographs. This is the start of the next phase of this slime mould where it will turn fully brown enabling it to release its spores.
Fungi
Lichen
Lichen are only recorded at each new OS Grid location (hover for Grid Ref). They are then entered on the British Lichen Society spreadsheet and submitted for their Warwickshire VC38 Lichen database and Lichen mapping.
Non-Churchyard lichens
Lichenicolous fungi
The above lighter pink colour is due to the pink clusters being dissolved and washed away by rainwater. The Illosporiopsis christiansenii lichenicolous fungi does not actually damage the host unlike the others.
