Another from back then theres just something about this track. Cheers Arry

Back when I had long hair and flared jeans and a Afghan coat Lol. Cheers Arry

I was fishing a well known Ray mark at Mothercombe one night, when two more lads turned up and settled in beside use. Said the usual hellos etc, introduced are selfs to each other. Then one said were your second cousins, of course my reply was feck off. Then he said you have a aunty Elsey and uncle Jerry that live in Exeter don't you, I do I said. Worked it all out and feck me they were, we became good mates and even ended up being on the Wyvern Fishing comity with one of them. Cheers Arry

Mate one thing, its a good idea to just eat a little piece of a mushroom or fungi if your trying it for the first time and keep some back just in case, as I said in earlier post "Some people can't tolerate the "Shaggy Parasol". Please make sure you are 100% happy before eating any mushroom. A couple that live in a village near me lost their kidneys and had to have transplants getting it wrong with mushrooms. Cheers Arry

Yes mate they do tend to appear in the same places under there same trees, probably not until next season now though but always worth a check. I have a few favourite spots for Ceps etc under Oaks most of them that I visit from the beginning of the season till the end. Cheers Arry

Did you take a picture the last time. It is possible it may have been a Cep even better if it was. Cheers Arry

Yea Parasol or Shaggy Parasol both edible (some people can't tolerate the Shaggy Parasol). But as I decided to check I opened the Roger Phillips Mushroom book on page 26 and theres a dead ringer"Lepiota Konradii" no common name its rare and edible so it maybe that one. Cheers Arry

Could be on the money there FLATTOP also maybe the Orange Birch Bolete both very similar ether way I would eat it, as long as it didn't cut and go blue, which I don't think it will. It really is a nice find in very good looking condition Cheesemastergen. Cheers Arry

Went for a painful walk (trying to keep moving) around Dartington hall gardens, seen these under a yew tree. Magpie Fungus poisonous. Cheers Arry

Didn't you have a good run on them Shaggy Ink Caps as well mate. It was so dry this year early part of the season was crap but picked up after the rain started. The Winter Chanterelles just starting and still getting the Hedgehogs, seen a load of Trooping Funnels still about but not confident with them yet. Them blewits came up in my garden, Lol been looking every where for them. Popped a disk in my back while out ferreting Sunday, been in agony since, so I'm bxggered at the moment. Cheers Arry

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.
