This morning after breakfast I walked around the garden with my mug of tea, poking around as I often do and seeing what I could see. Yesterday there'd been a single small fungi standing up in the lawn, with a very slender, probably 10cm tall stalk and a small flat disk on top. Today there were dozens of them, barely level with the tops of the very long grass, yes, I must get around to mowing the lawn soon. Then back outside around 11am and I looked for them and they've all gone, shrivelled up and collapsed, only the remnants remaining. They're a bit like the cluster of toadstools that pop up at the base of the dead silver-birch tree after rain, they only last a day or two then dissolve into black slime

We've also got more caterpillars back in the lime tree, I counted three plump Dainty swallowtail[1] caterpillars in various stages of growth. I don't begrudge them the few leaves that they're eating
