I’ll pretend that I deliberately took this photo out of focus to give it a dream like quality, but it does at least give an interesting look to the Stinking Dapperling, a fairly anonymous looking mushroom, although it packs a punch if you’re ever daft enough to eat it.

A day that the world changed forever. No one who was not young then can ever truly appreciate the seismic shift in Western culture that this record represented. There was a world before this single and a world after, and they were significantly different.

Another magnificently named mushroom amongst our trees - Clitocybe fragrans, the Fragrant Funnel - which really does smell aniseedy up close.

Nice to hear I’m not the only one for whom every thing is an opportunity to bore the kids with interesting tree facts. This morning it will be Osage oranges and woolly mammoths over breakfast…
My almost 10-year-old son has a couple of friends over, and I just happened to have some Osage oranges that I collected yesterday—because I'm thinking of planting a tree—and so of course I had to grab the chance to teach the kids the delightful facts about Osage oranges and woolly mammoths:
The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests
Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

Whoa. Got up this morning for work and needed to turn on the lights. This is unacceptable; I am NOT ready for winter yet.

Hmmm...the UK recycled oil revenue into tax cuts from its North Sea oil, whilst Norway reinvested into the country. Norway's GDP per capita has grown faster, and is now 68% higher than the UK, and at $1.5trn, Norway has the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world.
