Mushrooms and a fairy ring

We have noticed so many incredible mushrooms on our wanders this autumn.  How I love fungi!  The boys found these incredible shaggy inkcaps in a field on this farm.  There were other varieties growing in the same field too and even a little elf sitting amongst the mushrooms.
  
 
 We saw that little elf again dancing about merrily in a fairy ring.  What a magical field!

  2. What a collection of fungi. We've had some ink caps on the front lawn, and have enjoyed watching their changing form from day to day.

    Love that second photo!

    Oh my what a field of magic..We loved Mushrooms down here too. This is a dream come true for my children. We search for fungi everywhere and spot them mostly after the rains.

    Sending all my love to you all
    Lots of love

  8. how intriguing. I've never seen such a supply of wild mushrooms before. then again, I live in a city. the only mushrooms we see are on the grass from the manure fertilizers we put on it.
