Parasols

The forest is a strange world at the moment, seasons collide and blend. It's been the weirdest of summer to autumn transitions, with nature appearing at odds with itself as to how to manifest. I've mentioned previously the late flush of mushrooms, and that continues with the arrival of Parasol Mushrooms (Macrolepiota procera), October is beyond their usual fruiting window, yet here they are, and growing in number daily.
