A rare mushroom, once thought to be extinct in the UK, has been spotted growing at a farm.

The crown-tipped coral, or candelabra coral, was discovered by expert mycologist Andy Knott during a walk at Bere Marsh Farm in Shillingstone, Dorset.

It takes its name after the crown-like tips of its branches.
