lhs – Cambridge rolls – which tamp down newly sown seeds

I picked a few berries on Harmondsworth Moor, and tried to identify them. I think you have solved my problem - sloe berries. These were lovely photos and very interesting.

The only big ones in my mushroom book are parasols. I can't get an idea of the size from your photo though. I saw one the size of a dinner plate last year near where I live - peak district. Honestly, it was about 30cm in diameter. If it is a parasol mushroom, you can apparently eat is and it's very tasty. Don't take my word for it though, please!

I'm putting together a presentation on my acorn research, may I please use your acorn photo? I think your mushroom is an Old Man of the Woods (Strobilomyces floccopus). Thank you. Hi,

I did a two day walk the other way, from Maldon Hythe Quay, breakfast at Heybridge Basin, lunch at Tiptree, overnight Colchester. On next day to Wivenhoe, lunch at Dedham, end at Manningtree. Thought of making it into a published walk. The boat at the Basin is apparently owned by two guys who are going to refit it for sea trips. Think they might be solicitors but that could just be a rumour. Isn't Pam great! Great images!
