The dogs and I hadn't visited Gosford for several weeks, which we did on Friday and, as always, there was plenty to enjoy as the gardens move into autumn.
This mushroom is Coprinus comatus, the shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig, or shaggy mane. It can be eaten, cooked, when it is very young and still snowy white. The inside of the mushroom is a wonderland of colour and design.
There is talk of a bitterly cold winter ahead. Certainly there are plenty of berries on the trees, and I think I would put Mother Nature's intelligence ahead of any other, so probably a good time to stock up on bird food because it will be needed when the ground is hard iron, and water like a stone.
