The colder, damper conditions that fall and winter bring have resulted in plenty of fungi appearing and that seems to have been reflected in the blog recently.  I seem to be adding pictures of fungi a lot.  This time they are from the areas around where I work.  At lunchtime I walk down the hill to get something to drink with my lunch and, with these guys springing up along the sidewalk and close by, it was time to get the phone out and capture some shots.  Modern phones are so useful in situations like this.
