    I was in a wood earlier today in the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire borders and it was full of these mushrooms but I am not sure exactly what they are. Some grow a bit larger than these, and there were lots of them, some in large fairy rings under the trees. Cheers.

    Here's some food for MaxSnowflake and the rest of the trolls: How Oxford scientists developed a Covid-19 vaccine in record time Experts involved in the inoculation race explain how the jab was developed 14 JAN 2021 Tonia Thomas, vaccine knowledge project manager at the University of Oxford and Rachel Colin-Jones, visiting academic at Oxford University’s Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine, on how the first vaccine developed in the UK was produced. The pandemic is only a year old, but we already have multiple vaccines available to fight Covid-19 – incl

    There's a good recent study from UCL which estimates the case fatality rate for Covid-19 in developed countries at 1.15% which if the disease were left unchecked would amount to at least 690,000 deaths in a population of 60 million although with the UK's ageing population probably rather more than that, plus however many hundreds of thousands of people crippled with long-Covid. Is that what you want?

    None of the vaccines are licenced for use in children yet and there are no plans to vaccinate kids. I know that vaccine companies are planning trials in children but as far as I am aware none are up and running yet and they will take quite a few months to complete & analyse. Some children have got very ill and died from Covid but the best reason for vaccinating children would be to help achieve herd immunity by eliminating a large pool of infection which can be transmitted to others who are potentially more vulnerable. We vaccinate children and adults against a lot of diseases for exact

    If you want a review of the evidence around mask wearing see: https://youtu.be/IEvZhX3hQAw Masks worn correctly reduce the mask wearer's risk of infection by about 54% and also help to protect others if the mask wearer is infected. Critically, if you do still get infected despite wearing a mask, the mask should reduce the dose of the virus you get. There is a dose-response effect with the virus, the larger dose of virus you are exposed to, the more likley it is that you will become seriously ill, so wearing a mask could mean the difference between mild illness and severe illness.

    1,325 new Covid deaths today. No-one is being forced into anything, no-one will be compelled to take the vaccine against their will. If you prefer to take the risk of a miserable death, slowly drowning in your own lung secretions or the risk of being left with wrecked lungs and brain rather than take a completely safe vaccination then that is up to you, although I do have some objections to the the impact your decision may have on NHS resources and the fact that you may spread the infection to others. Use the link to the calculator I have posted and work out your own risks. Most people

    It looks from early evidence that the current vaccines protect against the South African variant. No-one is talking about compulsory vaccination and I can't that ever being acceptable in this country

    Risk from Covid is individual, if you follow the link I gave earlier: https://www.qcovid.org/Home/AcademicLicence?licencedUrl=%2FPatientInformation%2FPatientInformation you will be able to calculate your own personal risk. I am setting out the science as I know it. Remember also that this is a new infection with unknown sequalae, I have fieinds with long Covid who are pretty much incapacitated by it and we have no idea whether they will recover or not. The reason for the mass vaccination programme is to protect those most at risk, and to sop teh NHS collapsing under the weight of sickness. Y

    The only likley risks beyond normal injection reactions (sore arm, temperature etc) are immediate an risk of anaphylaxis which is why you are required to wait around for a few minutes after the injection. The main components of the Oxford vaccine (minus the SARS-CoV2 spike protein) have been used for more than a decade in early phase clinical trials for a range of conditions (Malaria, TB, MERS etc etc) with no long-term effects detected. What you need to think about is balancing the pretty well characterised risks of these vaccines against the known and unknown risks of Covid, including long-c

    Really? The Oxford/Astra Zenecca jab has been trialed in the UK, USA, Brazil & South Africa. The Pfizer jab has been trialled in the USA, Germany, Turkey, South Africa & Brazil and the Moderna jab which was approved today has only been trailled in the USA. None of these vaccines has been trialled in Portugal so there can't have been been any deaths on study in Portugal. The remarkable thing about these vaccines is actually how safe they are when you think that even common over the counter drugs like Aspirin kill somewhere between the low hundreds to low thousands of individuals in thi

    The Oxford Covid vaccine was an adaptation of the MERS vaccine which was in phase one trials in Saudi Arabia when the pandemic hit. Essentially the same basic vaccine (same viral vector etc) has been used in early phase trials in Oxford and elsewhere for various conditions including malaria for more more than a decade with no significant ill effects seen. Oxford are just opening a big phase 3 malaria trial in Africa now using the same basic vaccine but seeded with malaria proteins developed through years of trials using this vaccine rather than the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein put into the Covid

    I was in the covered market in Oxford this morning and they were selling local Oxfordshire trooping funnel caps for £40 a kilo. I was out in the woods with the dogs earlier and coudl ahve filled apick-up with funnel caps

    Well, I have been back to the spot today and the one I picked previously was immature, the biggest fully develo ped ones are almost a foot across, having seen mature specimens I am now about 98% certain that they are the Trooping Funnel Mushroom aka Clitocybe geotropa
  21. Lost Generation
    They were all as pictured above. talking to a few people now, I suspect they are immature and I hope to go back to the spot in the next couple of days to try and find out what they look like when mature becuase at the moment they are a real puzzler . If I can find the spot, I will post pictures here of the fungi when mature
  22. Lost Generation
    Thanks for the suggestion, I have emailed pictures to the guy. I certainly haven't seen this mushroom before and couldn't find it in any of my books. Cheers!
  23. Lost Generation
    Can anyone help identify this fungus please - picked this afternoon in grass on a woodland ride on the Oxfordhsire/Buckinghamshire border. There were a few of these here and there. Cheers.
