A hummingbird hawk moth who was trying to hibernate in our cave, until we woke him/her up!
you dont often see them this still........
OK, unless you REALLY like mushrooms, look away, as there are plenty here, any +ve ID's would be helpful, we have 5 books and still can't find exact matches,needless to say these end up in the compost and not in our stomachs....! USUALLY ! Only Fun-guys from now on.
Either a cauliflower fungus or a coral fungus, some are edible, not quite sure about this one....compost.
This is the 'coral' fungus, the saffron milk cap and the chantrelles.......unfortunatly none of these "in the field" ID's were correct......................more compost!
NOW this IS a chantrelle, and because there was only 1 we left it behind.....
puff balls..........
Fly Agaric.....toxic, or apparently hallucccinanggggenic .........I wouldn't know!
A little ELF sitting on a toadstool !!!
Two Ceps from Maison Baker.
3 ceps, 2 dark brown on top, turning blue when cut, and 1 olive/brown 'ordinary' one.
If you zoom in you can see these weighed 1.2kg........when they were dried they weighed......38g ! about 3%....now i know why dried mushrooms are SO expensive!
Here they are all ready to dry in front of the fire.
Here is Granny Jane threading mushrooms....oh it's a hard life!
