It’s early yet in the season for a glut of fungi, and with the weather generally dry…and yet…and yet… here’s some from our walk on 26th September 2026 for all you fungi fiends. As before, I only give an id if I’m fairly sure. This week I’ve enlisted Google Images’ help on that. Enjoy

Very. It amuses me in an ironic sort of way. We find lots of Fly Agaric kicked and destroyed (Red cap, white dots, pixies sit on them in fairy tales) yet, while they might upset the stomach, and certainly will cause hallucinations, they’re not killers. Yet the death cap they leave alone. Silly people 🤪

That’s really so silly… 🤪 I’m wondering why they leave the death caps alone.
