A bracket fungus. This was a decidedly mature specimen, growing on an abbreviated tree stump.

A plant which prefers wet conditions, growing even in shallow water. These were pictured after heavy overnight rain, and still had a few drops of water hanging down.

Another garden flower which grabbed my attention.

Sometimes called a “Penny Bun”, this mushroom can be found at any time from summer through to early winter.

The large seed case of a cultivated variety, spotted in a front garden.

Used to make a herbal tea, and also claimed to have a wide range of beneficial properties by herbalists.
