classic. Were there any brownies dancing round it?!

Wonderful!...yes didn't know there were real fungi like this!!

The Brownies had just left! Lol. I suppose looking at a photo isnt the same as finding one, I wonder how/why they evolved like this?

I know PottyG, I've never actually seen a real life one myself but when my husband saw it in the woodland at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, he took a photo for me and I'm glad he did.

Glad the Saxons aren't here now then NP, don't fancy being pillaged, lol. Didnt realise red was a difficult colour for you potters and tattooists. Keep cool x
