Thanks once again, Luc.  We missed your presence at the Conference - Luit had ordered three bottles of wine for you!  :D

Two final batches from Monday's brief walk in Tandle Hill country park ...

Cliff,

Glorious!!  Is that mushroom in the second set really that pink?  Or is it an effect of the light?

And as to the bottles of wine..... I'm sure you and Luit managed to drink them all in honour the the Luc that wasn't present at the time? ??? :P

Great pics, Thanks.

Many thanks Paul,
The pinky-purple mushroom really is that colour and is quite common under beech.  Glad you are enjoying the stroll!

Thanks so much Cliff for another walk in this magical place. Both tree and fungus pictures are marvellous and have me feeling slightly damp and chilly instead of looking to summer. (Well it IS damp and chilly here, so that's not surprising. :))

Maybe T3 is the back view of a white mouse?

Once again, my thanks to you all.

Another very brief walk this dull afternoon - this time just three hundred metres down the road to Healey Dell nature reserve ... a few images captured in passing ...

Beautiful Cliff, did you manage toget there on your own or were you pushing a buggy?

This topic isn't proving too popular lately ... thought it might mushroom?   :D

Another short walk this morning, this time into Crompton Woods, near Newhey.

Thickly planted, these trees permit little light (or precipitation) and the forest floor was tinder dry in places.  Where lumber had been removed the mosses and grasses had invaded and the ground was sodden and distinctly boggy.  Different fungi thrived in each of these habitats.
