Over the past couple of weeks Pete and I have been watching the progress of a giant mushroom (toadstool?) growing in the garden. It’s lucky that it has a safe place to grow – anything this huge out in the real world would have received a good kicking by now and be in pieces.
It is huge – around 6 inches in diameter – and certainly the largest mushroom I’ve seen. It’s growing at the base of the jostaberry, although I suspect it’s living in the bark chip mulch. I know next to nothing about fungi (it’s on the To Learn list) – so can anyone identify it for me?
In the meantime, can anyone translate ‘Room to Let’ into fairy for me? I’d like to have fairies living at the bottom of the garden ;)
