[from Louise Ramsay, Community Woodland Coordinator]
As the seasons change and autumn arrives, our woodlands become a fantastic place to spot all kinds of fungi. Did you know fungi are a really important part of our woodland? They help break down fallen leaves and dead wood, putting nutrients back into the soil and helping keep the whole woodland ecosystem healthy.
We’ve popped some fun fungi identification and spotter sheets from @plantfife on both the entrance signs for you to take along on your walk around Hazelbank Wood. As the woodland changes through the season, have fun spotting different shapes, colours and sizes, and learning more about these fascinating fungi.
Let us know if you spot anything exciting! We’d love to hear about your discoveries.
