It’s a great time of year for mushroom fans so keep an eye out in the parks and woodlands as you explore over the holidays.

The Beavers (and any interested Cubs and Scouts) are having a photo competition for (1) The Biggest Mushroom (or fungus) and (2) The Weirdest Fungus.

You can send in your pictures by Tuesday 3rd November to beavers@northrichmondscouts.org.uk or share them on social media and tag us :

Remember, many mushrooms are very poisonous, so photos only. Please don’t touch or eat them! In the words of Terry Pratchett: All fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.
