Mushrooms on fallen tree roots, by the side of the cycle path on the old

"Yucca Gloriosa" on Stubbins Street. This plant is flourishing in the shadow of the paper mill, on Stubbins Street. I have emailed Kew Gardens to see if they can help identify. I've just spent an hour on google and I have not seen a similar flowering plant in the Phormium species: tenax family. Hopefully the experts at Kew can help.... Bill. Identified! Brenda and Martin, of Strongstry Bridge, perused their plant books and came up with a
similar looking plant, yucca liliaceae. Googling this and checking plant photos, can now confirm it is yucca gloriosa, also knowns as Spanish dagger, palm lily, mound-lily yucca Kew Gardens have replied to our email enquiry and confirmed our stated I.D. Many thanks to their experts and Julie Bristow for taking the time to confirm the identity. From: Julie Bristow info@kew.orgSent: 16 August 2006 13:52 To: bill@stubbinsvillage.co.uk Subject: Plant enquiry Dear Mr Jones, Our experts have now had the opportunity to examine your photographs and have concluded that the plant is a Yucca gloriosa, commonly known as the Spanish Dagger or Palm Lily.
