My Lane and the Fungi on the Verges

Another lovely sunshine day today.  Fourteen degrees celsius when I was at the supermarket.  As I drove back home I decided to park in the animal field entrance and wander along the lane taking photos of fungi and anything else interesting.  I couldn't believe how many different types they were. 

Unfortunately, I have no idea what they are.  I'd never trust myself to identify anything sufficiently well to eat it.  Here, in France, you can take your fungi treasures to the Pharmacy and they will identify them for you and tell you which are definitely not safe, safe or good to eat.

This is the view through the gateway across the road from the corner of my field.  Luckily the big black cloud was not coming my way.

Back to the fungi again - I am just amazed at the huge selection out there.

These are mixed in with acorns and their cups.

This one's lying amongst sweet chestnut casings.

It seems a funny time of year to see dandelion seedheads, but there were several in the grassy verges.

These apples are a very small snapshot of the huge quantity lying in the orchard next to my animal field.  It is very overgrown in there and no-one harvests the apples so, sadly, they just fall to the floor and rot.

This last photo is of a group of fungi just inside the entrance to my field, by the compost bins.  They're quite large, the ivy leaves act as a comparison.

 

This morning it's drizzly and grey, although certainly not cold.  Not the sort of weather to be out and about in, but I am having to go out to a meeting this afternoon.  I hope it's worthwhile.

Three things I like:

1.   Not waking up too early.

2.   Finding something I've been looking for at last.

3.   Smiling.
