Fungi Friday in the Rain

As we've had more rain on and off the past few days, the fungi are still coming through. I stopped to take a photo of this shaggy ink cap growing at the side of the road for @fungifriday by @ewkaw.

The shaggy ink cap is a type of mushroom that is easily recognisable by its shaggy appearance and black, inky spores. They're quite common around here found in the grassy areas or at the edges of forests.

All fungi relies on moisture to grow and reproduce, which is why we often see more of them after a rainy period. In the UK, you definitely get rainy periods!

The shape of these reminded me of crabs for some reason.

I don’t know the names of some as they all look the same.

The fly agaric, also known as amanita muscaria or fly amaniti, is a rather striking red mushroom (sometimes with white spots) that is often associated with fairy tales and folklore. It really stands out in all of the greenery.
