A beautiful autumn sight here at St Abb's Head, the ink-cap fungi have begun to deliquesce around the edges of the car park. Deliquescence is when this fungus starts to dissolve into a black ink-like substance which contains the spores for future generations of fungi. And as they grow around the edge of the car park you don't need to walk for miles or have a pair of binoculars to see them! Lizy
