Day 270: Life On A Log

Mum discovered all the growth on this log a few days ago, not that I remembered to look before now!  The photo is a little darker than I would have liked but it was beginning to get dark so I didn't have the best light to work with.  I do find myself looking out for mushrooms and toadstools at this time of year and I'm not disappointed so far :-)

Day 262: Mushroom

I actually don't technically know if this is a mushroom or a toadstool and the definition I found didn't help much, so I'm calling it a mushroom!  This is on the front lawn.  I'm not sure we should be entirely pleased about having mushrooms - doesn't make for a pristine lawn - but I love it.  I'd rather have a wild lawn full of moss and clover and daisies and mushrooms, than a tame, boring, rolled, mown-within-an-inch-of-it's-life lawn.  I like the angle on this photo too.  Sort of makes it look like it is in a forest - clover as ferns and blades of grass as trees, stretching out into the distance.
