    Oh dear, think I got it wrong.  Spent today doing housework, and was going to spend tomorrow in the garden - but have just seen the forecast.  Perhaps I can find some things that need doing in the GH.

    FG - found a Daniel D in a special offer section of the GC last week - I brought him home !  Along with a Fireworks  - well 5th of November is just round the cornerimage

     One of the Bracket fungi

    One of each of the fungi we gathered - before the rain started.  I stopped photographing after that image

     Honey fungus image

     

    Think the second one of the first three is a Blusher.

    Not brilliant pics but we had a really good day getting around 30 different varieties in a very small area of the gardens and had great fun image

    Love the Red and white one Dove - looks like Fairy should be perching on it!  Did you bring any home for tea ?

    Brum - maybe you should go for the Clematis instead - really pretty but no loud bangs.  It was my Mum's favourite, so I was delighted I found one.  Will put it next to her rose.

    Glad you had a good foray Dove image but what the heck is that top pic of? I thought it was meat at first glance image

    Had a fab day out but am feeling a bit whacked now. Just awaiting the take away and settling down to some tv viewing!

    Did buy some bits at the CG, too dark out now to let you all know what (I can't remember!)

    Oh, and the first one of the first three is a Beefsteak fungus.  image

    So it is a bit like meat then!image

    We cross-posted Panda - yes it does look like meat - it is a Beefsteak - it also 'drips' a blood-like juice. It is edible.

    Are you sure the third picture is not of a cricket ball with spots. Are they safe to eat?
