As part of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB) the landscape of valleys and flat topped ridges, tree lined roads, has many important areas for plants, trees, hedges and other areas. There is a wide variety of plant life, which supports wildlife and the farming community.
Fungi are an important part of the ecological system, this is a bracket fungus in a small section of woodland close by the village, if anyone knows the species, please contact the site administrator!
There is an amazing variety of species, this one just photographed in March 2018, is a Scarlet Elf Cap, easily identified by its colour and shape, grows in damp places, on rotting wood, and in leaf litter
