Today I was walking through Ormeau Park in Belfast. I found a patch of mushrooms. By no means am I an avid mushroom identifier, but after some research, I believe these to be panaeolus sphinctrinus. Any awesome and capable mushroom identifiers out there? Am I right in my assumption? Or perhaps I found a new species? Eh eh?

From The Prehistoric To The Current
I was studying some fossils yesterday. Apparently I need to do more studying/learning because I found out that spiders and scorpions existed during the Cretaceous period. I suppose if I think about it, it makes sense...other arthropods existed then...I just never thought about spiders doing so, and definitely not scorpions. I also came across a beautiful trilobite. (By "came across" I mean bumped into white visiting a museum). Here are the fossils of said creatures...
