*FUNGI APPRECIATION POST*
Are we all in agreement that fungi are the best thing about autumn? These incredible specimens were snapped by Siân Lloyd in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). You can find fungi in damp, shady areas, particularly in woodlands.
Have you spotted any yet?

Lovely day out and about at the Towton Battle site yesterday. Particularly loved the new hedgerows as they coincidentally were planted the week my son was born!
