Found these growing in the front garden...haven't seen many mushrooms yet this year, and these were so small I almost missed them!  Clump of Fairy Caps by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr |

We've not been able to make it to the woods recently, but after the binmen came today I discovered that these fairy caps are still growing beneath the wheelie bins. It must be nice and protected for them there. (Until the binmen rolled the bins over them, that is.)  |

It has been a strange season on the fungi front, far fewer than normal here. There was a fair amount of Chanterelles, Beech Sickeners and Tan Ear. Masses of Honey Fungi but far fewer Hyrocybe and Cracked Botetus. There was one very large Shaggy Ink Cap but an absence of the the others generally found here. What has done well is the lichen and mosses. Too much rain!

What has done well is the lichen and mosses. Too much rain! I know very little about fungi, I just like to see them and photograph them and try to identify them later. What I hadn't given any thought to until recently is how they might be affected by weather conditions. I photographed a clump of mature fungi on a tree stump last year on the 7th October, it's on one of my regular walk routes and so I kept a watch for it this year, it didn't appear until the 23rd October. |

I'm the same- they are such amazing things, and I like taking photos of them as well. I'm not good at remembering their names, though.
