Fungi

Firstly apologise for the gap between posts, it has been a busy time with me helping to get my favourite subject ready to be opened to the public, of course you have guessed, The Enchanted Forest. Opened to the press & special guest’s last night (councillors & dignity getting a free look), so as it went without much of a hitch, we can all relax. Must say I think it is the best show EVER & you can expect many a shot on here from me, but that will be in a couple of days time when I have been through my hundred or so photos that I have taken already. 🙂

But as promised in my last blog, some photos of a few of the many fungi around this year, not sure why it is such a good year, may be the incredible summer, plus those early frosts telling them to hurry on out as it may be a short but abundant season for them.

I could look up all the names of the 9 fungi shots below as I have Roger Phillips wonderful guide book, but would you be that interested I don’t think so. So just get on & enjoy the beauty of them all, without them I am told we would not survive, for all that it does below the soil surface. Therefore we should be pleased to see them.

All these were taken from within my garden, so a fair amount of variety just in this small patch & as you will see where it is not obvious of their size I have placed a £1 coin next to them just to give you some idea. The second one is my favourite though 6 & 7 come up in the exact same spot every year so are a permanent attraction annually.
