Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of fungi!

When you think of autumn, you probably picture trees like Acers, Beeches, or Liquidambars turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. But in my (very biased and toadstool-obsessed) opinion, fungi can be just as beautiful, colourful - and sometimes downright bizarre - as any autumn leaf display. Written by Ethan Berry

The light in the early mornings and late afternoons is a joy and even the autumnal smell in the air as the fungi grow and the natural annual decay of leaves and fallen plant material catches on the wind is a highlight for me.
