Day 26 of October's challenge 'A month in 31 pictures'. I've had an epic fail this year and missed several days, but will try and complete the rest of the month.

The local beech woods were full of toadstools on my walk this afternoon.

Tiny toadstools growing on stony ground amongst oxalis corniculata in our Cheltenham garden.

This time it WAS me making these felt mushrooms. Available in my shop.

Is this a toadstool or a mushroom?

I was so enthusiastic about these toadstools that I posted all of them instead of only one or two. This miracle of nature was possible thanks to the policy of the park management to leave fallen trees where they are instead of removing them, thank you!

Well, it's this time of year and I just love the look of these toadstools

Not only does autumn bring wonderful colours as the leaves of the deciduous trees change colour and start to fall, but the spores of the fungi that have remained dormant over summer spring to life and add another splash of colour to the world around us.

Can anyone ID this little beauty we saw up on the Mount Kembla Ring-track today?

Toadstools

Pattern: Toadstool Baby Rattle by The Purl Bee

Yarn: Hello Yarn Sock in Kale, Hot Peppers, and Pickle, plus some scrap white

Needle: size 0

Conclusion: Yay! This is freaking adorable. Knitting the second half of the rattle with the rattle inside did my head in, but I'll definitely make more. These would be great with no rattle and a weight in the bottom, just as a decoration.

I lengthened the stem, as it was coming out super short. This was probably my own gauge problem.

Impossible! I just had to get a shot of the Wool Coat and Linen Toadstool Dress together. Me likey this too!
