I was pleased to catch up with the Pearly Heath and now I have another tick! I shall check out your website. I'm sure I...

    Plant I.D.

    I'd appreciate some help in identifying the plant this chiffchaff is on. The photo' was taken in the Algarve and I'm wondering if it could be some kind of glasswort. Google has thrown up Salicornia Ramosissima!

    I.D. please

    Thanks, Nick. The Mycena was with one other on the side of a log. It had rained the previous night so that might account for the surface of image one.
