Small cherry tree with blossom in the sunshine

We planted this cherry tree just over a year ago. It had a rocky start and we thought it might not make it (bark damage by some sort of beasty meant the centre stem died), but it’s rallied beautifully and given us the best blossom this year. Can’t wait to see how it takes shape this summer 🌱 🌸 💚

A cluster of oddly formed pearl oyster mushrooms grow off the side of a bare log, bits of punkwood stick to their caps, and their alabaster gills flow and swirl across their undersides. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms
