This has been a year without precedent in so many ways. With our normal volunteering closed to us, and the gym not exactly an inviting prospect, we have kept up our programme of woodland walking. Consequently, things which probably happen every year without us even noticing have been a constant source of interest this year.
Fungi - who knew that there were so many kinds?
Edited to add: It turns out one of you is an expert! -See Comments. I am so impressed by your identification of all these species. Turkey Tails certainly make sense for number five. Thank you for sharing.
