Mushrooms and Fun(gi) at Grootbos

Winter in the Cape means one thing - mushroom season!

All around the Grootbos Reserve, mushrooms are popping up in every shape, size and colour. Some are edible, some are toxic, others have been used in medicine for years, and a few might even make you see stars (not recommended!).

We prefer to keep it safe and just admire their beauty. They're some of the most photogenic organisms out there.

And the closing shot? Mushrooms and fun guys are popping up everywhere at Grootbos.

Have a great week from all of us at Grootbos Foundation!
