Never had any in the previous 7 Years we’ve been here and now they’re in two areas on opposite corners of the garden (they look like potentially different types too)

Yeah they’re everywhere.
Yep!
Yep, loads this year, way more than I have ever seen.
Think some are nice eating mushrooms , but I won’t be finding out.
Don’t be scared of most mushrooms. They’re wonderful, depending on the type they could be helping your trees root system, decomposing material for the surrounding soil to absorb the nutrients.
Or they could be slowly killing your tree by taking all of its lifeblood.
Yeah the grass is like a bog and never dries out
Wet and relatively warm. They’re living their best fungal lives!
Are they growing out of the tree? Just a word of warning it’s usually the sign of a sick tree if so – you don’t want it to fall on your house!
Word of warning – they look like Honey fungus
Looks like Honey Fungus, if so that tree is done for.
Sign of healthy soil – and a bumper year already: I’ve had many large Boleti – but not the worth-eating ones 🫤, multiple dinner plate sized fly agarics, and russulae which the squirrels seemed to like, but the only shaggy ink-caps (yum!) I’ve spotted were at Jodrell Bank and couldn’t conveniently be harvested…(without unduly shaming my wife, so I desisted!)
Keep an eye out for Wavy caps and Liberty caps
Me
There is something dead down there.
Hey OP, tree surgeon here. I’d be getting that cherry tree looked at by a proper tree surgeon/arborist. That is a very nasty split down the middle and with the windier weather coming you don’t want it going through your neighbours fence
