  @wild edges fantastic lens that and judging by the shroom it's going to be perfect for the moths.

  Photo of the cone to show the size of the mushroom. The cone isn't much bigger than the end of my thumb.

  Do you know what they are, @Fire ? They feel familiar.

  Fabulous photo, but quite ominous appearing out of the dark! That is a nice lens.

  A bit of antique nature. I found this oyster shell in the river after the recent rain and since it's miles from the sea I'm guessing this has washed out of an old tip along the river bank somewhere. It's quite worn so it's been washing about the river for a while. It could be Victorian or even earlier since oyster was a much more popular food back then and we eat different oyster species now. The holes in it would have been from when the oyster was still alive and made by a boring sponge. Now the shell is broken you can see how the sponge honeycombed the inside of the shell but didn't break through the mother of pearl layer inside. Sorry to anyone who suffers from trypophobia...

  It's a Yellow Staghorn fungus (Calocera viscosa). That one actually looked like real deer antlers too.

  Thanks @wild edges. I thought it was a bit of plastic at first.
  Edited to make some sense😒

  I must have uploaded the photo and forgotten to put the description on there. My mind has more holes than a holey oyster shell at the moment.
