Out In The Woods

 

Jelly Ear Fungus in Scotland

This is from last year when I was in the woods! I think it looks like Jelly Ear Fungus. I love taking photos of mushrooms.

So after yesterday waiting for them to come to collect the aids, the guy refused to take the wheelchair we bought because it wasn't "official". Oh my! So I'll give it to a charity shop next week. At least I tried!

Miss Scarlet

Not quite Miss Scarlet from Clue. We actually called it Cluedo over here!

Scarlet Elf Cup in Scotland

This is a collection of Scarlet Elf Cup mushrooms. I took this last year, at the end of January. I will probably have missed them this year as they grow in the woods further than I can walk just now! They are also edible and good with a salad, I was reading!

Shaggy Inkcap Mushroom in Scotland

This is a Shaggy Inkcap Mushroom (Coprinus comatus). At this stage it is edible from what I have read. Once it opens up and goes black, then don't eat it! I love taking photos of Mushrooms!

This is Turkey Tail growing on a tree. I always enjoyed seeing it on my walks but sadly someone knocked it down a few years ago.

RIP to Zakir Hussain who died today. I am a fan of Shakti, Remember Shakti and Tabla Beat Science. He was such a talent.

Scarlet Elf Cup

 



These are Scarlet Elf Cup mushrooms. They look pretty funky and amazing I think. They stand out as they are bright red! And I have just checked they are edible too, if cooked thoroughly!
