The weather is changing with the coming of autumn, cycling between warm, sunny days and colder, wetter and windier ones. The coming of some rain seems to have woken up the fungi which, to judge by the number and variety I found on yesterday's rather damp walk, are making the most of it.
The colours have been spectacular, varying from this bloody red through....
....shades of puce to....
....chestnutty brown - this one also....
....seen from the side - and....
....back to reddy-brown again, but my favourite must be either....
...this, for its bold yellows, or....
....this - what looked like a piccolo tomato dropped by a picnicker but which, from the side....
....revealed itself to be a very delicate fungus - the cap's diameter is perhaps 15mm.
All these fungi were photographed in a 30-minute period as I walked along paths through coniferous woodland.
