The inedible fungus, King Alfred's Cake (Daldinia concentrica).
Tiny fire-lighters, yes! you can start fires with them! They have an embarrassing story, King Alfred’s cakes are named after the king’s poor baking skills. King Alfred’s cakes are also known as 'cramp balls' as it was believed that carrying them would protect people from attacks of cramp.
Spot them growing in broadleaf woodland where they can last for years. They resemble round lumps of coal.
The older they get, the darker they become. They don’t rot away quickly but can remain on deadwood for years. Many kinds of insects and small animals make their home inside King Alfred’s cakes, while caterpillars of the concealer moth (Harpella forficella) are known to feed on them.
Historic Ploughman Wood.
Historic Ploughman Wood, is a 32 hectares Nature Reserve in the good hands of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. It's between between Lambley and Woodborough in the Nottinghamshire countryside. One of the county's few remaining ancient woodlands. The wood is shown on the medieval Sherwood Forest map circa 1400 below as just Howrley; but later recorded as Hoeverly Woode on the 1609 Sherwood Forest Map. Ploughman Wood was donated to the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust by the Home Office in 1996.
This wood was once part of a much larger area of woodland that dates back to the 13th century. It is mainly ash/oak woodland with some other species and this mix provides an excellent range of habitats for wildlife. The presence of substantial quantities of dead wood provide an excellent habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. Over 280 species of invertebrates have so far been recorded.
