The UK is full of fascinating and fabulous fungi – and autumn is the perfect time to spot them.

But how much do you really know about fungi? Are they an animal or a plant? How do they help boost biodiversity in the UK?

Find out in our new blog👉 https://bit.ly/4yHNxVZ ~Clara

A wee bit of sketching. #fungi #insects #arachnids #ukfungusday #ukfungusday2026 #sketchbook

An opened sketchbook, with unfinished pages. It shows ladybird sketches and drawings, sawfly larvae, but mostly drawings and sketches of various types of fungi.

🍄 It's #UKFungusDay! We love our weird & wonderful fungi

But we should find mushrooms on autumn walks, not in our homes

@andyburnham, what will you do to bring down bills this winter, so we don't have to ration heating and live with mould?

Some tips... www.fuelpovertyaction.org.uk/ending-fuel-...

An ecological niche on a single leaf!
Common Lime leaf…
…attacked by sap-sucking insects secreting honeydew
…on which sooty mould fungi grew
…and through which are tiny snail tracks!

🌱🌾🌍🌺🍄🌳🌲🌿🍃🖌🐡 #UKFungusDay What better at the start of autumn than fungi? From iconic large multicoloured mushrooms to tiny, weeny, hardly visible ones, time for fungi to get spreading their spores. Want to know more about fungi? Why not try @britmycolsoc.org.uk as a start - local groups, workshops?

It's not all woodland wonders - some fungi prefer the more out-in-the-open vibes. This #UKFungusDay we celebrate our colourful grassland gems - the waxcaps 🍄

Resharing for #UKFungusDay. Even our local park has a wide variety of interesting fungus to spot. This is the collection so far this season.

@markavery.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 10:55 AM

A whole bunch of fungi found in East Yorkshire last week - I even think I know what some of them are called although their beauty and intricacy are beyond naming!

#ukfungusday tomorrow 10 October www.ukfungusday.co.uk but the fungi will be around for a while longer!

@tverc1.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 10:03 AM

🍄 It’s #UKFungusDay tomorrow!

Autumn is a brilliant time to look for fungi. They’re also vital to our ecosystems, helping break down organic matter and recycle nutrients.

Chloe recently found this impressive Giant Puffball!

What have you spotted? 🍄

🍄✨ UK Fungus Day is this Sat! While working along West Cumbria’s watercourses, our team is surrounded by incredible wet woodlands bursting with life. From the syrup-like ooze of an immature Blushing Rosette to iconic Fly Agarics, check out these field finds! 🍂🪲 #UKFungusDay #WestCumbria #Fungi

Meet 'hazel gloves' - a rare fungus found in #ScotlandsRainforest that parasitises another fungus. It grows on old hazels but feeds on a glue-crust fungus that binds twigs. We're delighted to have recorded it at #Dunollie & #Crinan Woods. Spotted any🍄this #UKFungusDay? 👉️ buff.ly/RsVFMxF
