Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A phone pic can’t quite capture the beauty of the moon hanging low in the sky tonight. The sight of it took my breath away. 192

Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Having lunch in Winchester, our walking route took us across Magdalen Hill Down. No proper camera so we wouldn't be tempted to dawdle & photograph. Erm...phone pics of a Rosy plant bug and a Hummingbird Hawk moth. 061
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 24/06/2026When we asked ‘are you ready for your close-up?’ we didn’t mean that close! A Bordered Beauty sitting on rather than in front of the lens. #MothsMatter #UKmoths #moths 0191
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Babylon (2014) Channel 4 TV series if you can find it. Darkly funny and dramatic. 110
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 22/06/2026One of a pair of Swallow-tailed moths seen today. Sitting on the patio door watching over the garden in the relative cool of 5am. #UKmoths #MothsMatter 150

Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Walking through wet wooded Woolston, a spot of fungal interest. Pterula multifida, Xylaria polymorpha (my 1st sighting), Scleraderma citrinum (with a longer stem than I’m used to). Finally a teeny bit of jelly fungus. #fungi #fungifriends #nature 🍄 1222
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Autumn palette, fungi of the past 2 days. Amethyst Deceiver, Blushing Bracket, Blackening Waxcap and False Chanterelle. Though I could be wrong on any or all… #Fungi #Autumn #Mushrooms 0100
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 03/11/2025A dawdle through the autumn colour of Thursford Wood. Big swathe of Tripe Fungus, Yellow Stagshorn and Glistening Inkcap #MushroomMonday 0130
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 15/10/2025For some bizarre reason this Xerocomus makes me think of Chico Marx. I think I may need some therapy #fungi 171
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 14/10/2025We nearly didn't get there - a 10k run, a cycle race and a pony round up affected our route and destination. Worth the perseverance when we finally got to walk in the New Forest near Brockenhurst. One rotten log, 3 slime moulds. #SlimeMoulds #NewForest 082
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Thank you, will definitely iRecord. Was very pleased to see it. 010
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 06/10/2025More mushrooms at Dersingham Bog. Is this the Heath Navel (Lichenomphalia ericatorum) @robyaxley.bsky.social? #Fungi #Mushrooms #lichen 1977
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Visited Dersingham Bog on two occasions just a couple of days apart. Big difference in the number of mushroom species on the second day following some serious rain. Splendid pair of Blackening Waxcap, or for US viewers, Witches Hat. #Fungi #Mushrooms #MushroomMonday #DersinghamBog 0122
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Autumn mothing, not always full colour sometimes classy black and white. Black Rustic (Aporophyla nigrans) and Large Wainscot (Rhizedra lutosa). #TeamMoth #MothsMatter #Moths #ento 0180
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Trollop! Glorious Pink-barred Sallow (Xanthia togata) today. Larvae feed initially inside Willow catkins then on a broader range of plants when they drop off the tree #MothsMatter #Moths #TeamMoth #ento 0272

Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 01/09/2025I was behind the times and hadn’t realised the Engrailed and the Small Engrailed had united as one species. Ya live and learn. Very happy to find this one taking the air on a gatepost. #MothsMatter #Moths #Ento #TeamMoth 1270
Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Great night for migrants. Blair’s Mocha (x 2), Rush Veneer, Vestal and Palpita vitrealis. Happy Hampshire moth-ers. #TeamMoth #MigrantMoths #MothsMatter #UKWildlife 0252

Topknot Crew @topknotcrew.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Looking for a bit of shade on a very hot day, we went to Thursford Wood. Not expecting much mushroom so pleased with the Beefsteak Fungus (Fistulina hepatica) and a Whitelaced Shank (Megacollybia platyphylla). #Fungi 🍄 061
