Sadly, by today the whole army of fungi has been vanquished and there are only a few blackened strands left behind.

Everyday, at the moment, I come across some interesting fungi. My son was laughing at his strange mother scrambling under a bush in the park with her mobile phone today, to take a photo of a particularly distinguished fungus with a view o writing a poem about it!

That is a picture that makes me smile! How lucky for us that we have children that are amused, rather than mortified, as some kids might be.
