Fungi on the orchard floor




       It's that time of year when there seems to be an abundant supply of fungi to admire. The Shaggy Inkcaps and the 'brown ones', which I am unable to identify were all showing in one morning in a corner of the orchard. Apparently the Inkcaps are edible but I wouldn't try the brown ones with my full English breakfast.
      I've no doubt that further exploration would have found yet more but the constant rain and the long grass, never mind the trees holding gallons of water, curtailed the keen explorer in me and in Lucie, our Jack Russell Terrier. Home for a coffee would seem to be the plan.
