Gorse in Flower

The weather continues to be truly miserable, with the same east-southeasterly wind that's been blowing for about seventeen days bringing in cold air from the continent and dismal, sleety showers - not that anything worries the gorse growing along the sides of the forest tracks, for it is....

....in exuberant flower. Not only is it proudly showing off its own spring-coloured blooms but it's also playing host to the 'flowers' of a couple of....

....very cheerful fungi, including this 15mm diameter little beauty which I think....

....may be velvet shank fungus and....

....this white fungus which I have failed to identify.

In addition, the local gorse is supporting specimens of the bright yellow witches' fungus, though I didn't find any of that today.
