I do not actually remember seeing a red toadstool/fungi type mushroom that has white spots, the type you find in Enid Blyton story books which have faeries in them, so when I was walking towards work, after dropping our daughter off on Monday, I could not believe that there, near the pavement, and creeping up the embankment, was a fair few of these fairy tale kind of fungi/toadstools...
Are you a resident of Leek or surrounding villages? To find these lovely works of Nature, walk down from Leek Golf club, as if you are heading towards Cheddleton, as you near the farm on the opposite side of the road, keep an eye on the embankment to your right, amongst the trees and foliage you will see largish kind of toadstools/fungi, there are quite a few of varied sizes and styles sitting amongst the twigs and brambles, as seen in the photos above!
