Title: Fungi
Post by: TC on August 20, 2019, 06:42:39 PM

Today I noticed a huge fungus growing beside and underneath a Pulsatilla.  I looked up fungi on the web but could not see an exact equivalent,  We then discovered more in different locations not near to the original.  Does anyone know what it is and is it harmful to other plants?  I think it has been brought in from sacks of peatless compost bought from Aldi which I used to enlarge the plant bed.
