The Bog Bean... Menyanthes trifoliata it quite spectacular in a tiny sort of way, the tiny whiskers from the petals are fascinating and add a lot of character. As usual white flowers are quite a challenge, I should have shaded it. It would be interesting to make some UV images of it.
It seems the fungus, Galerina Heterocystis is a toxic species.
There is quite a large bed of the Bog Bean but only two Galerina Heterocystis. They are on a rather remote part of the fells, North of Green Gable.
