Post Mill at South Walsham taken shortly after this morning's misty sunrise.  (pity about the telephone/power cables).

Very atmospheric photo BB,as you say shame about the cable. I could almost smell the muddy river marshes.

Today we took our usual afternoon walk with the dog visiting Felthorpe woods,on first entering the woods we met a lady carrying a large basket,on enquiring if she was looking for fungi she said she was and then showed us the contents of the basket which she had collected.

Now having walked the woods several times this year I am aware that it has been a good year for fungi,indeed I have never seen so many different species,I am no authority on fungi but always like to look at them.Yes I know what a mushroom looks like but fungi I am not sure which ones to eat.

The lady turns out to be German and has been collecting and eating various types of fungi all her life,from the basket she takes a fungi which has a brown head and white stem,she cuts a piece off the brown head and invites me to eat it,I was a little apprehensive nevertheless I ate the piece she offered me and it was delicious.
She also had some orange coloured fungi which were also orange underneath which were apparently edible although I did not try anymore.

Having spoken to this lady I think I shall go to the library and see if I can get myself a book to enable me to identify which are edible and which are not.

I wonder if anyone else eats fungi on LOL?

Be careful SB, some are very bad. One particlar type once eaten there is no cure. They can tell what it is but cant save you.

I love those great puffball mushrooms. White, and as big as a football.
A slice fills the frying pan and delicious with a little pepper and a sprinkling of garlic. Maybe a splash of lemon juice.
Or with finely chopped onion.

I take your warning very seriously Malcom and thanks for that,whilst I am interested I should have to have a lot of assurance before trying a sample fungi as I have read about the consequences of eating the wrong ones.

Just before dark last night I thought I would have a stroll around our garden,(I knew it was due to rain and had packed the BBQ away in the garage together with the patio table and chairs) when I came upon a huge mushroom almost as big as a dinner plate,it had been half hidden under a shrub,funny I had not noticed it before,sadly it is no longer there as I fried it this morning together with to eggs,both eggs and mushroom were delicious. Grin

ps,think I will stick to the mushrooms.

The Pharmacie is the place to go to get fungi indentified here .Many a person has gone on with a basket full and come out with it empty so many of fungi that are edible are simular ones that are not I would n't risk it . Undecided Undecided

As I drove past this field of sugar beet, I saw from a distance, these yellow plants that looked like charlock. I wondered why the farmer didn't walk through and pull them up to save them seeding.  Stopping on the way back, I could see that they were sunflowers.  The previous crop must have been sunflowers.
