Mushrooming today in a wonderful huge wood called “Winterfold Wood”, in Surrey, south east of Guildford with Clive (well known in shrooming circles as “Professor Boletus”). You can see where it is by clicking here. Saw lots of shrooms but few edible unfortunately. Not enough rain yet. Next trip early November. Beautiful weather though, and a nice walk. A couple of photos –

Our only edible find today – a brown birch bolete

Nice little sulphur tufts

Don’t eat the birch fungus!

OK, at last I’ve sorted out the technology in the flat and can upload some photos. Bit of a mixed bag….

More to come…

I know I know. Just very busy at the moment. Photos are coming… In the meantime, take a look at this site if you have any interest in chess. It’s a pretty good interactive intro to standard openings.
