And apparently the mycelium stains the Wood Green, and was sought after in cabinet making. And other interesting amazing properties www.tbhpartnership.org.uk/news/warden-...

This has been on my wish-list for a while, so very pleased to see it. Hopefully get back tomorrow for a more crisp photo, less rushed.

New #fungi for me today, taking a slightly different path (a disused parallel hollow way, deep with leaf litter and rotting wood). #GreenElfcup - Chlorociboria aeruginascens - with a good #mycelial spread on the damp underside of a rotting log. 🪵 #Mycology

#HoneyFungus, very prevalent in the woods at the moment, digesting rotting wood. Not had rain for at least a couple weeks or so now, so, the dusting from #spores is noticeable over lower #fungi fruit and surrounding surfaces. #Mycology

Woods today just glorious. A first for these #fungi: Infundibulicybe geotropa, AKA trooping funnel or monk's head / and then, Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap, false blusher, and the panther amanita I think. Not sure of the last one, even with image searches. #Mycology #Autumn #Fall

My favourite #chimneypots - only realised they were done as symmetrical #dragons with the centre pots as their heads, and external pots as the end of the body, terminating in a tail. Never seen any pots like these anywhere. And so few will ever notice or appreciate them. #Caminology #Stroud

#TronAres. Very good. Took a while to get going but found it worthwhile once it did. Mid credits scene. No post credits scene. Soundtrack by #NineInchNails absolutely cracking with the film 👌 and had the cinema to myself on the first showing Friday afternoon!

Have begun listening to “The Sovereign Individual” which has influenced a lot of these tech bros. Need to chip away at it a bit more.

Hoping AI discovers empathy and then works out who it really needs to deal with for a better world for more 🤔

Curious, doesn’t state the atypicality warranting a surprise about bones being found in a churchyard 🤔

Trialling new technique today using a small mirror in photographs of #Fungi to capture the gills of the #toadstools, useful in identifying them and gills are often things of wonder. Found a small fold up vanity mirror in my late FIL’s things, which does the job, I think. More focus? 🤔 #Mycology

Glad to see you here. You have been missed.

And I’d go in for a pint, but definitely staying on the road after dark… 🍻🐺

When you get a third floor hotel room (fourth outside UK!) and can look straight along the rooftops of Edwardian and Victorian #seafront terraces. In #Weymouth. This has been an enjoyable photo to pinch in on. #ChimneyPots #Caminology

One for #aerial lovers, too! Double Decker bus journey up top, stopped at traffic lights. East from #Gloucester Station. The barren stacks on the end gable make for a poignant contrast with the hordes of pots behind. Ghost of chimney stacks future paying a visit? 🤔 #Caminology #ChimneyPots

A good location for dedicated #chimneypots spotting are the tops of multi storey car parks. Good session around #Liverpool centre last weekend. These are a small sample of the shots I took there. #Caminology #Roofscapes

Ebley House, #Ebley, #Stroud. Couldn’t ignore these with the sun casting these shadows. Beautiful #Ashlar #ChimneyStacks #Chimneys #ChimneyPots #Caminology

Even in the depths of #Birmingham #NewStreet, get to the end of platform 11 and there are a few #chimneypots to be seen, get a camera with a good zoom. #Chimneys #Caminology

#Fungi season definitely in full swing. This is just a little sample of what I saw yesterday. I think all of these knew for me.

Honey Fungus
Magpie Inkcap
Gymnopilus variety - possibly Spectacular Rustgill (pushing up the moss)
Cortinarius variety - possibly Violet Webcap

45 years ago today since my first 7” vinyl came out. Bought one Friday night in the music department of Tesco in the (then) #ArndaleCentre in Poole. Still an absolute banger of a tune, and still so very relevant. #EnolaGay #OMD #orchestralmanoeuvresinthedark
