Fungi season

With all the rain I've found quite a few little shrooms around.

Michaelmas

"Old Michaelmas Day, 10th October, is the last day that blackberries should be picked.  It is said that on this day, when Lucifer was expelled from Heaven, he fell from the skies, straight onto a blackberry bush.  He then cursed the fruit, scorched them with his fiery breath, spat and stamped on them and made them unfit for consumption!  And so the Irish proverb goes.."

“On Michaelmas Day the devil puts his foot on blackberries”.
