I was bemoaning the fact that even thought it has been quite wet, I hadn’t seen many fungi. For quite a number of weeks it rained most days, with occasional bursts of sunshine that were warm to hot. Did I mention humid. One day it reached 31C, the day before and day after were wet and in the low 20C’s
The first little fungi I found were a small yellow umbrella and some small puff balls among some gravel that I though at first were white stones. Then I noticed someone had taken a few bites out of one
You can tell how small it is by the size of the blades of grass
A couple of days later, on the grass outside the front there were so many of these tiny brown most beautifully textured brown fungi. Blade of grass measuring again 😁
I had to try and get the two little dark fungi growing under the brown ones. Two days later and they are shrivelled white
Hands up who thinks I touched this oozing mass of wood fungus? It actually looks grosser in real life.
The white cap gave this one away among the wet dark mulch
Very hard to get a good photo of this one in the dark location.
I found this growing in a plant pot in the garden. It is quite tiny. I thought it might open up and look similar to the one I saw earlier ⬆️
What a golden colour these one are
The early stages of a wood fungus emerging.
I went away for a day and before I went, spied this fungi growing on a tall stalk
When I came home today, the cap had opened and is nearly 100mm or 4 inches in diameter
Want a closer look?
I had to see what it looked like underneath
So much for not having many fungi about
