Wild garlic capers time, the darker colour green is more likely gone to hard seed, better to collect while still soft, just after flowering

A plant gall on a Stinging Nettle stem, spotted on Dartmoor last week. This gall is apparently very common (first time I've seen one!) and can appear on stem, leaf stalk, leaf, or flowers. It is caused by a fungus "nettle rust", or "nettle clustercup rust". #fungi #plants

I was amazed by this branching pattern in the frost on my greenhouse last week. It looks so like a plant or seaweed fronds.

I love the ability of #fungi to surprise me. I’d more or less given up on autumn mushrooms in SW Scotland for this year, then boom! A lovely cauliflower mushroom right when & where I wasn’t expecting it. Slightly soggy, but it will dry up nicely.

Wonderful aroma of Wood Blewits in the kitchen - floral, perfume-like or "frozen orange juice". We blogged on them a week or two ago - https://t.co/iLXSqcGbSl #fungi #foraging
