Sorry mate I don't know. Looks like a useful woodland with Oak and Beech though, keep hunting mate. Cheers Arry

I think there must be quite a few different strains of VHD or RHD as we had it on some of are permission a while back but it never wiped them right out. Also the first ones I ever found were about 20 years ago, 2 dead rabbits on the same day with blood coming from there ears and nose. I know it was that long ago because I was with my youngest lad and we lost him in 2002 when he was 19, but remember he was about 13 or 14 at the time. But its not like what Gav is describing, we still had good numbers for years. I did a thread I think maybe last year in the ferreting section about how the Austral

Just been watching the remembrance day parade on the box. Everybody had their Poppys on, but I don't think Corbyn did. Did any of you guy notice? or am I wrong? Cheers Arry

I'm glad they saved him for the next beating and the next. I hope the other prisoners make it hell on earth for him. Cheers Arry -
There not much difference Steve, but the caps seemed a bit thin and brittle where as others I've found and I don't find many usually have a thicker firmer cap bit like a Field mushroom. Didn't even know there was a "Sordid Blewit", Lol. Must be well cooked and can upset some people, so will try just a small piece first, but I think if I remember right that goes for all the Blewit's. Cheers Arry

Found this seem to for bats, but I can't read French. https://www.wildcare.eu/grand-gite-d-hibernation-pour-chauves-souris-schwegler-1fw-36563.html Cheers Arry

Well going up the garden today and spotted these, thought they were "Wood Blewit's" but didn't look quite right. So after looking through books and on line for about a hour I now think they are "Sordid Blewits" similar but has a thiner cap and less robust they are edible but not so good. Another site I use that covers hell of a lot more fungi. https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/index1binom.php Cheers Arry

Think this is similar one. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/criterion-auctioneers/catalogue-id-criter10492/lot-422cb4d1-1434-4b2e-b977-a5b00134e3c2 Cheers Arry

Found the same mate, that patch I found a while back came up again in the old lady garden. Cheers Arry

Have a look at "Clouded agaric" not a good one. Not that I know just looked up what fits. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/clouded-agaric/ Didn't realise they were so big mate. Cheers Arry

Not sure mate. Could you turn one over and show the underside and all the stem. In the mean time I'll get a book out. I take it its woodland by all the leaves. Have a look at "The Miller" on this page but read the warning on the bottom of the page. I still haven't got the guts to try one yet as there are some deadly ones you can muddle with it and it might be one of them. If your not sure don't eat it mate. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/the-miller/ Cheers Arry

The wife who is a dental receptionist told me of an 86 year old gentleman who came in for a appointment today, he told the wife how he was sell Poppys in Reading last week. A little girl came up and her eyes lite up as she spotted a really posh Poppy with rhinestones on it, "can I have a Poppy please" as she emptied her little purse out all five pennies. She reach for the rhinestone Poppy with her little hand shaking. Her mother stopped her saying "you can't have that one you only paid five pence". But the old boy said "of course she can, she gave every thing she had". Nice that. Cheers A

Out for a mooch today in a mainly Beech, Oak and Chestnut wood on the side of the river Dart. The colour of the leaves were fantastic, think they will be gone tomorrow heavy rain and strong wind forecast. Bit of a crap photo only had my small camera hard to hold still and it was over cast. A few Winter Chanterelles growing under Beech trees. Then came on these little orange balls, thought WTF is this. Then Bry my mate decided to pick some and give one a squeeze which burst like a paintball all over his hand making him jump, I nearly pissed myself laughing.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hard when they go on. Atb. Cheers Arry

Very moving that. Cheers Arry

Its unthinkable somebody could do this to a 98 year old man. Even if he makes it out of hospital he will probably die sooner than he would have. Theres some scum walking the streets these days. Cheers Arry

Mate I don't eat the Trooping Funnel yet!! Its not Russian roulette just stick to the easy ones. In one post I put up a link to that same Wildfood site that show the top ten easy and safe ones. Like the Giant Puff Ball and the Hedge Hog Mushroom (around now very good) easy to ID, Chanterelles only one you could muddle with the False Chanterelle which is quite easy to see the difference. The Winter Chanterelle (Yellow Legs) and it must have yellow stem and is around starting now and good. Also Bolete's if you stick to a rule of thumb no red on them and don't go blue when cut. There is one Bolet

Fond memories of tipping the milk churn and pouring the creamy milk into the lid of the churn and drinking. Still love a my cream on the wheat bags in the morning, probably no good at all for me but what the hell. Cheers Arry
-
Try not to worry to much as said, I know thats easy to say but if you work yourself up worrying will only make thing worse. All the best mate and good luck. Cheers Arry

Recon the big white ones are the "Trooping Funnel" edible but make sure its not "The Ivory Funnel" poisonous. Check this web page see what you think. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/ Little brown ones probably Sulphur tuft. Cheers Arry

Our family was one of the last around here to have milk delivered to the door step in glass bottles, but gave up in the end because the milk just was not keeping at all, it seemed old when you got it. Also the milk in the plastic bottles is homogenised which mixes the fats into the milk seems to help it life span. As for milk tasting better how many you guys remember the mike machines that used to sell milk in a waxy carton. Often at train stations, but have fond memories of one out side a motor bike shop were all the greaser/rockers leather jacket lads hung out. Milk in them waxy carton
