I made a minor editing change. Not sure why it has now appeared on this date. Apologies!
Out in the garden I spotted this strange fungi (strange to me, because I've never been into mushrooms and toadstools). I had a look and I think it's a Blackish-Purple Russula Russula atropurpurea we have a Beech tree in the garden and this mushroom seems to be common with Oak and Beech trees.
