Fabulous fungi

I really love autumn. The colours, the crispness, the chance to wrap up warm but still feel the sun, and walking in the autumn always gives me lots to photograph. I have to remember to not only look upwards at the beautiful leaves but also down on the damp floor for the fungi. I started photographing fungi a few years ago and it is always challenging – sprawling on the floor or contorting into small spaces between dead branches – but once I started noticing these sometimes tiny little strange mushrooms and toadstools I was hooked!

This is one of the first I have seen this year.  There will be more!
