Part of a large patch of Devil's Fingers fungus (aka Octopus Stinkhorn) in Rye, East Sussex. I smelt them before I saw them. An intense bouquet of rotting flesh to attract insects that then help spread spores. Brilliant!

Autumn is the perfect time to go hunting for plant galls, these odd-looking growths on trees and herbaceous plants. Oak trees are famous for supporting a great amount of species and gall-causing organisms are no exception: they are hosts to more than 50 different galls.
