The season has barely begun, so this is just a few that we saw while walking the camera on 11th September 2025. But, enjoy…

I must wonder about the first humans to decide this might be a tasty fare. I am glad to see Friday Fungi back on the menu!

It’s too early in the season to promise this as a weekly post, but so long as I have 6 pics, I will make them into a post.
As to discovering what’s edible, I’ve a feeling it was a matter of trial and error. Yes, some are lethal with less than a nibble, but most are not. And maybe if they’d seen animals shy away from a fungi, they might guess it’s not good for them either. Besides which, smell and touch (sticky, slimey) is a good clue

Great variety of mushrooms in your area.

Oh, and here’s me thinking we have a restricted range! But let’s not forget just how many species of fungi actually exist. And no, I don’t know the actual number, but it’s mind-numbing

You’re very right. But we don’t have any visible ones where I live in an urban area.

Of course. Except maybe for mould, that’s a fungi too, and I know it’s prevalent in all our urban areas

Yes, but more so in humid and damp areas

Maybe that’s why it’s so prevalent here!

One reason our summer heat is so oppressive is the perpetual humidity
