Fungi Foray

Today as i walked the dogs round Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve i caught up with the folk on the Fungi Foray. What lovely weather they got to walk round in, glorious sunshine & temp of 19-20 degrees.

Here is New Ranger Lisa, Ken (MYCOLOGIST) & Ruth.



The folk were cheerful & seemed to be really enjoying the walk & finding out all about the different Fungi that's popped up. As i walked round i came across quite a few species,






I will add this though, it is quite rare now to be able to have a Fungi Foray & actually come across some, as the plastic bag brigade are usually raping the place of the Fungi & the ones they can't eat they destroy !! Another sort of SPACKTARD !! In my opinion the people who are raping our Nature Reserve will carry on doing so until the Authorties start doing something about them. Make an exhibition of some & drag the culprits through court, as what they are doing holds a £20,000 fine !!

If you do have permission to forage for Fungi get the right equipment, a wicker basket like in the header photograph so that the Fungi Spores can still DISSEMINATE.
WARNING FUNGI CAN KILL !!! If you don't know what your doing go to a supermarket for your mushrooms.
