At this time of year eating food containing vitamins C and D (the latter also obtained via sunshine) can help keep you well and fight infections.
One great source of these vitamins is Rosehip syrup. Haws can be foraged now; further information on how to collect and use rose hips can be found on the Woodland Trust website.
Another fruit especially helpful for obtaining vitamin C are Oranges.
Last week I found a fungus with the common name, Orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia); it’s called this because it looks similar to discarded orange peels.
This fungus sits flat, directly on soil, gravel or grass (having no stem) between August and November in the UK. They were so bright that I noticed them from across the garden. I loved their vivid cheerful colour, as well as the shape as the folds enveloped each other; reminding me of flowers.
