Ever since we changed the way we do things around here with our gardening techniques, I have noted a whole load of strange beings appear. Some days it feels like we are being invaded by strange little creatures that have appeared during the night and leave a strange puddle of goo or an alien garden just appears out of nowhere. It is quite a fascinating subject when you get into reading all about fungi and the like. I have started looking into growing edible mushroom, I have heard a tale that it can be done in used coffee grounds 😮 Fabulous, I can have my coffee, and eat my mushrooms too. My other hope is to go edible mushroom foraging one day, I just have to convince my husband and children that it is a fabulous idea, even though they can't stand mushrooms. I may have to open a bakery for this one.
Anyway, for now I am going to put pictures that I have taken around the place in here in hope that someone may read this and be able to help me identify what they are
These tiny yellow fungi appeared during the damper months of last year, from memory they where only on the dead logs.
This one was in the leaf litter and mulch
This one is the most interesting, not a great photo, unfortunately it's sideways. It comes up every year, smells like rotten fish and it starts of with a brown cap which dissolves into slime pretty quick. The pink looks like it would feel like foam or those little packing nuts that you sometime get in packages.
I'll leave this post for now as the children have gotten up. So I must go and face the fact that its my birthday and I'm another year older......
