Balade avec un ami, Philippe, dans les Flandres belges.

Ici, la ville balnéaire de La Panne (De Panne). A l'ouest, coincée entre la ville et la frontière française, la Réserve Naturelle du Westhoek, ensemble de dunes plus ou moins envahies par la végétation.

Common stump brittlestem (Psathyrella piluliformis)

These adorable babies were nestled in the hollow base of a tree, which I almost walked past without noticing. As the name suggests, the stem, as well as the closely packed gills of this mushroom are very brittle, as is the cap - looking at the penultimate photo, you can see where small ‘chips’ have fallen away from the edge of some of the caps, leaving them a little frayed looking, most likely from nothing more than bumping into each other as they grow and move in the wind.
