Bog Beacon!

Apparently these little fellas are quite unusual.  Widespread, but not common.  They are Bog Beacons, (Mitula paludosa), what a fantastic name!  They are actually much more orange than this, but boy, do they shine out of the very wet leaf litter!



They are very fussy about there habitat, but this seems to be ideal, as there were tons of them!



Growing from submerged, deciduous leaf litter in carr woodland.



A new favourite!
