We visited one of the forests notable trees today, an ancient Oak of 600 years or so old and noticed this small Beefsteak fungus (Fistulina hepatica) just poking through. The Beefsteak fungus will cause the wood of the tree to stain a reddish brown and that would make it of value to crafts people, although the significance of this tree means that wont be happening. It does though remind us that mushroom season is just around the corner.
