Seeing the Changes 245





In Bynea, there were lots of brown Tawny grisette (Amantia fulva) toadstools. In Loughor, a 2-spot ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) was in evidence along with a mass of the tree-loving fungus Gymnopilus junonius. At Burry Port harbour, many edible fungi with bright yellow gills were seen (Suillus luteus) whilst fossil plants from the coal measures were clearly evident in the sea defences.
