Fungi and other finds from a visit to the Great Wood near Keswick in the English Lake District last week - particularly exciting to find Hen-of-the-woods (Maitake) which I’ve never found before, it’s not common in the UK. Pen and watercolour sketches.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crane out here.. the heron is a regular 😉
This video is a little brighter so the markings clearer.

Resist fascism, make friends. Build community, check on each other. Party, cook, build ties, and never let them make you too scared to love one another.
