Fungi, Oakhanger, Hampshire


Whilst looking after four children and two dogs, I snapped a few photographs of mushrooms and toadstools.  These are tricky subjects when on the forest floor, as one needs to get to the ground level and sweep away the most miniscule bit of debris in front of the fungi.  It is also difficult at macro level to see if the image is sharp, so I apologise for a couple of photographs where the focus is a bit iffy. 

None of us had any idea of what they were, but the children had great fun kicking, throwing and splitting open the puff balls, creating clouds of spores. 

A fabulous walk through the woods and common in the beautiful late afternoon autumn light.
