Literally Littoral- 1. Fungi and Plants















In the protected areas of Quiberon in Brittany, France, I spotted a fungus (probably a waxcap) as well as lichens. The dominant grass was Harestail (Lagurus ovatus) and flowers included Scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis); Wild clary (Salvia verbenaca); Cottonweed (Otanthus maritimus); Field scabious (Knautia arvensis); Cheddar pink (Dianthus gratianopolitanus); Viper's bugloss (Echium vulgare); Dark mullein (Verbascum nigrum); Sea campion (Silene maritima); profuse Sweet alison (Lobularia maritima); Field eryngo (Eryngium campestre) and what looked like an introduced garden species.
