    Default Mushrooms (fungi)

    In my garden, the fairies have been leaving me some of their umbrellas. I put the can in one shot to show how big it was... no, I don't make the cat hunt for her food

    Crumbs, they're massive, unless of course you buy miniature cat food.

    "miniature cat food" - with my cat? She'd eat me while I slept if I did that

    Yes, that's a big one, Louise!

    I find fungi very interesting. Yesterday, I came across three types in the garden - the usual small lawn fungi which grow in poorly aerated grass after rain, some puff balls which 'exploded as I was weeding and a Boletus of sorts which had been nibbled ll round the edge by a Wood Mouse (or Hedgehog?)

    This is the time of year to search for them in damp woodlands. It's amazing the colours you'll find too.

    Here's one I saw at Hosehill lake, was a good six inches across.

    Looks like it's at the end of its life - it was probably a little wider before it started to shrivel as well, Rolf.
