And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Fly Agaric in the Garden


Last year for the first time we discovered Fly Agaric toadstools in the garden and I was thrilled. This year they have returned :)  Seven in total - 3 on the first lawn and 4 on the second smaller lawn. 






 I think they may have started appearing as they do form mycorrhizal associations with Silver Birches and we have a lot of these trees in the garden.











Please note Fly Agaric are highly toxic despite their pretty appearance!

Two other fungi in the garden. Sadly, no idea of id. I can only confidently  id about 6 species.






Fallen Whitebeam leaves.






D has planted some winter salad leaves and



we are still getting tomatoes :)




I hope everyone is staying safe and well.

All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 Bridge Camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one could they please email me first)
