Fungus

Don't know anything about the fungus Hywel but the last photo of the road is beautiful. I would love to walk down there :-)))))

That road certainly looks very inviting, lovely.
Hywel, I saw a squirrel sitting holding a large flat round fungus very similar to 'your's' and it was nibbling it, turning as it went. It seemed to be enjoying it, and almost ate the lot, before something frightened it and ran up the tree.

What a shame you could'nt fry it up with a bit of bacon Hywel...lol. Lovely pics!...:o)

What a monster! A foot wide, you could fry that up for an army Dylandog! lol
Lovely pics Hywel, must have been a nice drive..

True Dido...lol. 3 dozen eggs to make an omellette. (Can somebody please correct my spelling of omellete)...lol

It has probably still got some growing to do: nice pictures Hywel.

great pics hywel, i love fungus, its so interesting, think it grows any time hywel especially if shady or damp, i have little mushrooms frowing in my lawn with the light rain we had ;o)

Hywel, don`t know about eating it but it looks like something you wash your back with in the bath, it was fascinating to see.

Thats a big one Hywel, don`t think I`ve ever seen one that size. Lovely pics of your stroll, not walking very far around here although you would like it as we still have rain and everything is looking so much fresher........

something magical about fungus and toadstools..... lovely pics... you have some lovely countryside where you live...

looks lovely :o)

Its not the first time I`ve heard about the damage the local authorities do in the name of `clearing up` Hywel, they do the same to the wildflower borders here and they look dreadful afterwards. I like looking at fungi and I don`t think I`ve seen that one before.

I find fungus amazing Hywel. PIty you didnt get the orchid seed. I set some common spotted orchid seeds last Autumn but none grew, maybe it was me.

Hi Dawn. I think I left it too late before looking for them.

Sandra I agree. They don't need to cut the hedges as much as they do. It's very bad.

Thank you all for your comments on my blog :o)

Round here, the farmers do it with huge cutting blades on their tractors - it's hacking, not cutting! Such a mess and it really spoils the old hedges.

Glad you saw something interesting to make up for the missing orchid seeds.

I haven't seen anything like this before, very interesting. I will keep a look out on my now frequent walks in the woods! Pity about the seeds, Hywel, never mind there is always next year :)

Good thing the farmers/council missed this lane when tidying up . It might not be so bad if they used sharp blades when 'cutting' the hedgerows. They just seem to rip everything to shreds round here.

Great photos and blog .

love this blog Hywel...im finding edable mshrooms in my polytunnel..as usual the seasons are out of sync....i had tomato and mushrooms for breakfast yesterday....yum yum
as for the council 'vandal' as they are known around here.......the guy who cuts our road has been doing it for years and has got to know the hedegrows. he is gental in places where the wild orchids and other lovelies are growing....our lanes shrink every summer then after hes been it feels like a dual carageway...

Thanks for all your comments. It's nice that so many people read my blog :o)

Hywel
i look forward to reading your blogs...especialy tonight when the winds are howling its good to take my mind off it...hope its not to windy with you..:-)

It hasn't been very windy here Sandra, but we've been having torrential rain. I want some nice weather to return lol :o((

we had force ten gales last night....so much damage around here....took our tipi down last night and lashed the yurt...which is holding on in there.....bring back the summer...

That sounds bad Sandra :o(. I hope you'll be able to fix the damage and put the tipi back.

thank you...im sure we will Hywel...ive have to cancel a booking for monday but im just relieved that the yurt is still there....
