A hard boiled egg……

……. is what this fungus looked like as it pushed through the moss yesterday so I just had to photograph it today before it was all chomped by the resident snail.

The rutting season is well under way and I could hear two or three different stags roaring on the hillside behind me. I love to hear this sound every autumn but I wouldn’t want to get too close to the stags as they try to lay claim to their herd of females.
