It was a creeping plant. Scent when trod on was a sharp, astringent smell. It was growing on a bank under trees. Here is the picture again, you have to click on the link.

Sarah and I took a quick walk along Green Lane, just for you! However, after combing the verges left and right (was like a military exercise with one of us covering each side) we don't think we found your plant Please though take a look at the latest Wheatley pics starting here and working back (previous): http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Oxfordshire/Wheatley/pictures/latest/1056940 I had a quick look on google and your plant looks like it might be Ground Ivy (Creeping Charlie) see here: http://landscaping.about.com/cs/weedsdiseases/a/ground_ivy.htm My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I think the ground Ivy might be a hit. I have taken numerous pictures of that very same fungi. Will have to share a few. Bows down in honour of POE's wonderful picture tour of Green Lane in search of the mystery plant. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
