Whilst we had a couple of frosty starts last week, the previous two mornings have not been conducive to an early start to go on the deer watch, as I have been doing recently.
Yesterday it was far too windy and this morning it was raining, leaving me to have a couple of comparatively luxurious lie-ins. However, mutt still needed her walk, and once on the move, it wasn't long before I was peeling the layers off. The temperatures are up on the latter part of last week and coupled with the over-night rain, it can only lead to one thing at this time of the year -
Fungi
Such a variety!
The first two examples being regular recurrents under the same trees in the park.
Just to say i enjoy your blogs! You really ought to offer this service to others as i think you are good.
ReplyDeleteThat is very kind of you to say so. Would be happy to discuss if anyone were to make the approach
ReplyDeleteHi Celia,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your photos of the fungi, especially the first furry one.
Have you seen Beatrix Potter's watercolours of fungi? When she wasn't drawing little rabbits and ducks, she was a serious mycologist! Love Bonnie xx
Thanks Bonnie
ReplyDeleteYes, those first ones (still haven't ID'd them) remind me of those coconut toasted teacake confections. Mind you I wouldn't want to eat these fungi!
Beatrix Potter was incredibly talented. It was because she was a woman that they wouldn't take her study seriously so, to make a living, she turned to what the world now know her for.
Thankfully her wonderful work is safe in the archives.
Thank you for your comments. x
