Red Rise Autumn

It's the same in regards to every season, but the forest is beautiful this time of year; the colour range, the purple of the heather, the browns and oranges through to light greens of the retreating ferns, the hint of change amongst the canopy. The air is cooler and the nights are decidedly chill. Since the initial burst of Cep action, the forest has been less productive, for several days now few mushrooms have been visible and those that have been have been mauled and chewed; the cold and dry. I hope we're experiencing a hiatus in the shrooming season rather than its truncation.
