The best crop all year and its too dangerous to eat

The nights are drawing in and the lawn is beginning to get covered in leaves. We have tended the garden all year, far more than any other year. Dutifully watering and cultivating. Despite it being our most attentive season the harvest has been mediocre at best. Good strawberries (but it rained heavily as they came in to fruit and the slugs had a slug fest), reasonable beans, ok courgettes. Good onions, and plentiful spuds. Not sure what went wrong with the tomatoes - it wasn't a good year for them. Lets not mention the aubergines.

I have a new morning routine. Wake up, shower, makeup up, coffee and fungi hunt. Every morning I venture out to find the latest fascinating specimen in the morning dew on our lawn. We don't have a pristine lawn - it looks nice and green but in reality it is mainly moss - we are surrounded by woodland and we gave up fighting the inevitable. We have a moss lawn. Mushrooms of all sizes emerge overnight - no sign of them the day before - SURPRISE - here I am.

For the last week I have not been disappointed once, every day a new mushroom has emerged to impress me. We downloaded the mushroom identifier app and tried to work out which were edible. The ink cap is but only if you remain sober - which ruled us out.

Never munch on a hunch!

So we admire and we are amazed and we welcome the autumn invasion. Sadly our best harvest of the year is not heading for the kitchen
