hello Brian,
This "lovely fungus" is very dangerous. Roots of these fungus destroy the rhizome of Anemone nemerosa.
I lost a few Anemone nemerosa.

Hi Wolfgang ,

I'm sorry to correct you but this fungus ( Aleuria aurantia ) are not danger - it is possibly to eat it them ( more than one time ) - I have never heard before that this fungus are danger for  plants...

Brian!

Oohhhhhh, (dreamy smile  :))   -   to have a bank like that to chuck the seedpods,  wouldn't that be an interesting place to ponder year after year after year after....   8)

Unfortunately that bank is bigger than my entire garden!  If any one wants to give me 1/4+ acre somewhere within an hour and a quarters commute of London please let me know by P.M. - it is my birthday next month.  ;D

Here are a couple of photos of a 2x2-petal G. elwesii that was found by a friend this year. The inners are at 90 degrees to the outers, it also has quite a strong sent. If it survives I wonder if it will it be the same next year?  He would be pleased to know your opinion.

Hello Maggi, Mark und Hans,

sorry, Wolfgang

Wolfgang, I have searched for pictures of both these fingi... there are many of the Aleuria aurantia that look very similar to the Dumontinia tuberosa.....very confusing for the likes of me!
 Best to be cautious about these things.... I am lucky to have a good friend who can make sure I eat only the best wild fungi!  ;) :D

Thank you for that Wolfgang I will pass the warning on to the owner.

Also by proxy thankyou for the nice comments on this garden, John I too would love a bank like that, but Norfolk is flat (according to Noel Coward!).

Hi Brian

you know I like the oddities and unusual snowdrops.  I have been after a 2 petal one for many years and I really like the way that your friend's example displays it inners so perfectly - but.....  I think the ovary is, relatively, far too small.

I am usually attracted to nice bulging reproductive bits.     ;D:-[  ::)

Cheers

John

If it's stable, he'd have to call it  'Eeyore'   ;) ;D
