Mushroom Wonders

With the arrival of the rainy season, our garden in Malawi transforms into a breeding ground for all kinds of mushrooms. Everywhere you look, they sprout from the ground in various shapes and colors. Some stand alone, like tiny islands in the soil, while others cluster together, nestled closely side by side.

Between the pebbles on the sandy shore, delicate caps emerge, their striking pink hues contrasting with the damp ground. Further on, in the dark, moist soil, brown and cream-colored mushrooms appear, while in other spots, white ones push their heads up.

The warm, humid climate allows these fascinating fungi to thrive, as if the garden has a life of its own. The mushrooms come and go, a silent reminder of how dynamic and unpredictable nature can be.

Cheers,
