It's that time of year when the Fungi stalks appear in the leaf litter or grass. During the rest of the year, the Fungi grows underground as it breaks up dead vegetation. I know very little about Fungi and haven't managed to identify more than a handful of species. One of the species I do know is Fly Agaric. This is a common and easily-identifiable species on woodland floors.
One of the DWT wardens, Nicki, said that it had been a good Autumn for Fungi on Brownsea and many stalks were larger than normal.
