Mushrooms And Toadstools.

It seems to be a bumper year for mushrooms and toadstools in this part of the world and during the last week I've seen lots of beauties. There are shaggy ink caps in the grass of the Grove Gardens, verdigris toadstools in the bark mulch of the raised beds in Hythe Marina, tiny orange cap mushrooms I've yet to identify, also in the bark mulch, and all sorts of mushrooms, large and small, dotted along the grass verges through the New Forest.

The picture shows the blue-green verdigris toadstool; beautiful to look at but very probably poisonous.
