Some fungi sketches from the autumn. After a slow start, it turned out to be a superb season for fungi here on the IoW. I am a big fan of fungi and there is so much to discover and see. My favourite site is Osborne House at East Cowes, the Isle of Wight home of Queen Victoria and where she died in 1901.
Apart from former royal residences, the local area round where I live (Newchurch) was full of fungi of all types.
A surprise was found on the cycle path, just behind industrial units in the county town of Newport, in the form of a Red Cage fungus, a species of stinkhorn.
