If you like to get outdoors and enjoy walking in the countryside, one of the best times of the year to do it is in the Autumn. Although it might be necessary to wrap up warmer and wear wellies and fisherman sweaters for women https://www.shamrockgift.com/aran-sweaters/womens-aran-sweaters/ as well as men, there are lots of amazing things to see in the countryside during the autumn months. Here are just a few of them…
Mushrooms – Autumn is the time of year to spot many of the dazzling array of fungi that are all over the countryside right now. From the poisonous fly agaric, the mushroom associated with fairy stories, to the delicious chanterelle, prized by chefs everywhere. As well as this, mushrooms also provide a network that enables the trees in a forest to talk to each other!
Coloured Leaves – Something that is most associated with autumn are the colours of the leaves in the woodlands. They are beautiful to look at and to walk through. You can also collect them to make a wreath, so that you have a little bit of the autumn woodland in your home.
Nuts and Berries – Nature’s bounty is fully on display in the autumn and many animals and birds are foraging frantically for their winter stash! Look out for birds like the Jay, who are so fond of acorns, as well as smaller birds and squirrels foraging around the trees and bushes.
