One last poem for Sunday evening

Mushroom Hunting

It’s almost fungus season

When mushroom hunters foray

In lonely fields and woodland

Hoping to spot their prey

Foraging for champignons

Puffballs and parasols

Avoiding death and ink caps

Sickeners and false morels

Every fungus is unique

In colour and in form

Some robust, others delicate

In shades of ochre, rust and cream

Frilly gilled and plump of flesh

Egg-shaped, flat and scaly

In shady spots and open rings

Mushrooms are hunted daily

  1. It is interesting to be near forests and areas where one can forage. Living in London does not offer those opportunities!
    This poem is very much appropriate and appreciative of mushrooms.
    Thanks for sharing, best wishes.
