In autumn, a simple walk through Shrub Hill Common reveals a wonderful variety of mushrooms scattered across the ground. Mushrooms are essential to the ecosystem, helping to break down organic matter, recycle nutrients, and form helpful partnerships with plants. As nature's recyclers, they improve soil health and support plant growth. Here are some of the mushrooms spotted at Shrub Hill Common in November 2023.
