MUSHROOM myths, toadstool tales and other fungi fables are part of the fun at the Herefordshire Festival of Fungi.

Running all this week, the festival is a chance to find out more about the various forms of fungus that grow all around the county's countryside and beyond.

Val Littlehales recounted myths and legends based on fungi folklore a Bodenham Parish Hall on Saturday and various walks have been organised throughout the week, taking in as many different types of mushroom and toadstool as possible.

This weekend, between 10am-6pm on Saturday and 10am-5pm on Sunday, there are also displays of fungus from the delicious to the deadly at the Left Bank Village.
