🔼 As the flowers fade so the fungi begin to appear. Not enough yet to give them a post of their own, but it’ll come. Patience.

I really enjoyed! 🤪 Especially the elderberry and the sloe. I’ll definitely avoid the white bryony.
Have a wonderful day! ☺️ I’ll hopefully be able to participate this week, but it’s been a while since my Wi-Fi issues started, and the engineers haven’t been coming for three days… 😑

Lovely pics – my favourite is the thistle and rose bay willow herb and of course I love the conkers in waiting 😀
