Sir Harold Hillier Gardens is a haven for fungi enthusiasts, offering a diverse range of fascinating species. One such marvel is the Common Earth-star (Geastrum triplex), with its mature fruiting body and exoperidium that has split open to reveal the inner spore sac. It's like nature's own surprise gift waiting to be discovered. Another captivating sight at the gardens is the Fairy Inkcap (Coprinellus disseminatus). These delicate fruiting bodies can be found in groups, thriving on decaying logs. Their presence adds an enchanting touch to the woodland scenery. The Magpie Fungus (Coprinopsis picacea) also graces Sir Harold Hillier Gardens with its unique appearance. With raindrops delicately hanging from the edge of its cap, it seems as if this fungus has been adorned by nature itself. Nature never ceases to amaze, and the Upright Coral Fungus (Ramaria stricta) is no exception. Growing on decaying twigs, these vibrant fruiting bodies bring bursts of color and life to their surroundings. Witnessing the transformation of a Common Earth-star from a fresh egg into a fully formed fruiting body is truly remarkable. Before long, its exoperidium will split open, revealing the hidden treasure within - an inner spore sac ready for dispersal. The Shaggy Ink Cap (Coprinus comatus) showcases nature's ephemeral beauty in action. As their caps begin liquefying amidst lush grasses, they remind us of life's transient yet awe-inspiring moments. In harmony with moss-covered landscapes lie clusters of Fairy Inkcaps (Coprinellus disseminatus). These tiny mushrooms create miniature fairy realms amongst their verdant surroundings – magical worlds waiting to be explored. Field Birds Nest Fungus (Crucibulum laeve) offers another intriguing spectacle at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens.
