It’s autumn so mushrooms are starting to pop up. I recently got a mushroom guide to help me learn about the different kinds that I might find in the UK. Last night I saw what I think are mica caps. One of them had a little guest: a slug! I wonder if it took a wrong turn or was deliberately there seeking shelter or perhaps a midnight snack?

I studied biomedical sciences for my undergraduate and Master's degree. For my PhD research, I investigated molecular origins of Parkinson's disease. Since graduation, I have worked as a science writer, technical author, and medical writer. In my spare time I enjoy writing, illustration, crafts, cooking, and travel.
