Treasures in the Shade

Dropping down from Piper House through the woods in early morning is a journey from light to half light, deep shade then brief illumination.


Fungi explorers would have enjoyed this. I can't remember seeing as many Fly Agarics in a few minutes. They looked to have shot up overnight as slug blemishes were scarce.
Present nearby were Birch Boletes Brown Roll Rims, some I've forgotten the names of and some I've never learned. I would have been happy to find Saffron Milkcap but the Scots Pines are elsewhere.





















Wandering through the relaxed and unmanaged spaces it's a shock to come up against a reminder that Philistines have been here.
