Fungi

Woke up to find what looked like an army of busby clad soldiers marching across the lawn.  There were at least 18 or 19 of them.  They are both comical and beautiful in their own way and something seems to like eating holes in them.  They are short lived and will soon be nothing but a black slimey mess on the lawn.

These are the second flush of them we have had.  There were far fewer of the first ones.  In addition, there are some other flatter orangey red ones which must taste better as they are nibbled all over.
