Autumn is upon us and I have been out photographing some of the smaller species of fungi for a new publication. Most of these species are very small; some only a centimetre in size. A few are considered to be rare and I have been fortunate to have the assistance of two experts in the field to help with the identification. Below are some examples of what we have found in the past week.
