Tree Stump in bloom...

lots of fungi on the tree stump. In spring I dumped this dead cyclamen,
forgot it was there..and just look, a new life in July,loves the shade against the tree stump

Wow, look at that cyclamen..
..so shiny and healthy !

That looks fantastic. the cyclamen looks so healthy and the fungi make such a statement!

Makes a great combination.

lots of creepy crawlies under the Tree stump .a delight for the Robins

This is lovely Deida. Even your fungii looks healthy besides the cyclamen. I've got the dreaded honey fungii coming up around my old tree stump.

Sorry Dawn..whats a honey fungi.?

John cut a biggish ash tree down about 5 years ago leaving the stump which must be 18 inches in diameter. The last few years fungii (mushroomey things) have grown around the base and along where the old roots run, I probably collect a couple of barrowful loads each autumn

Interesting Dawn.. thanks for that

Its horrid Deida, they go all slimey if you dont get them up.
BTW... have you seen the baby robins lately

That's a lovely photo Deida :o)

Oooh Deida - I love fungi!! This one looks like an oyster mushroom, which is edible - but please don't take my word for it!! Just in case!! lol

Gosh Dawn
