As soon as I wrote my last blog bemoaning the lack of fungi at the woods, we have had a lot of rain and the fungi are starting to emerge in some numbers.
Last weekend, I found a wonderful stump covered with tiny little fungi. It looked like a tiny fairy city. Other logs were showing the sulphur-tuft fungi usually seen during October. And there are a few clouded agaric in the woods, as well as some massive jelly-ear fungi on rotting elder stems.
It seems I spoke too soon. The fungi are fruiting at last!
Again, brilliant! The first photo is just magical! I have just signed up to become a wood warden with the Woodland Trust. I do hope I can find some of these wonderful fungi on my couple of woodland patches!
That’s great news about the wood warden. I’m sure you will find loads of fungi, particularly now the weather has gone wet.
