Fungi 

At this time of year we get a significant number of fungi popping up in some parts of the garden. Like many things in the Autumn they are only here for a short amount of time, but add a certain seasonal feel to the garden along with falling leaves. Our neighbour used to have a silver birch tree (Betula pendula) next to the boundary which was felled a number of years ago, we suspect that the fungi are feasting on the roots of this tree.
