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
