Dist:1.0km<br/>Flammulina velutipes - probably! It is a species that can easily be confused with others that look similar but these fungi had the characteristic viscous cap and were found growing in early February both of which suggest it is Velvet Shank.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Farm or smallholding from which the footpath leads towards Gwal-y-filiast burial chamber (not signed). The name means 'Top of the Wooden Bridge' which may refer to Pont Dol-Wilym across the Taf in the valley below.

Dist:1.0km<br/>The slimy surface of these little saprophytic fungi allows them to survive freezing temperatures and make a welcome addition to the wild food larder in winter (however they can be confused with similar inedible varieties). They are cultivated in Japan as Enoki or Enoketake mushrooms but since they are grown in the dark they have an entirely different appearance: white, etiolated clusters. They are also deemed to have therapeutic properties; a 1989 study suggested that workers in enoke farms suffered a lower incidence of cancer.

Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>This is a odd-looking polyporous fungus that infests decaying trees; it does resemble lumps of a hard white cheesey substance. There are several species and I am unable to say which one this is.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>In the churchyard, a wheel cross can just be made out on this roughly shaped early Christian stone, perhaps C6th.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>The parish church of Llanglydwen lies a little way to the west of the village, on elevated ground, a spot commanding a fine view over the valley of the Taf. A Victorian restoration of an early church.
