Barrow Moor

Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary - without any deer Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary in the New Forest was notably free of any signs of Cervidae on our visit. Perhaps we were just unlucky. 
The main 'viewing area' is a field with a viewing platform nearer to the road than the wood-fringed field seen in this photo.
The species which may be seen here are:
Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)
Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)
Fallow Deer (Dama dama)
Sika (Cervus nippon)
and occasionally Muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi)

Cep (Boletus edulis) A young Cep (Boletus edulis) in Anderwood Inclosure.  This is perhaps the most prized of edible fungi and as a result is often the subject of heavy exploitation.  Because of this I have chosen to give only the 4 fig grid reference for this particular example.

Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) A cluster of Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) in Anderwood Inclosure.  This particular example was growing on a Silver Birch trunk, rather than the more usual Beech.

Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) A group of three Fly Agarics (Amanita muscaria) growing on a bank alongside a track in Anderwood Inclosure.  The white specks on the cap's surface are the remains of the veil that covers the emergent fruiting body.

Brown Birch Bolete (Leccinum scabrum) A group of Brown Birch Boletes (Leccinum scabrum) in Anderwood Inclosure.  As expected from its English name, they were found growing under a Silver Birch tree.

Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) A Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) growing among leaves in Anderwood Inclosure.  Both the English and Latin names are very apt.  The former refers to the strong smell it gives out to attract flies which then transfer the spores elsewhere, and the latter, translated as "shameless phallus", needs no further explanation.
