So a day of picking - a trip in search of blackberries, sloes and hawthorn berries along with anything else we could find.
What we found is that the fungus season has definitely started. I am hopeless at identifying them though ...
These were the first we came across. Like little prickly balls - common puffball?
Couple of these - lovely orange colour
A real fairy ring!
Not a clue!
Easier to identify where the common field mushroom but as I already had several in the fridge ( from the supermarket!) we left them growing.
In the end the trip provided us with hawthorn berries, sloes for gin, some bittersweet berries to plant in the garden, some yew berries and some wild hops and comfrey. All in all a very satisfactory walk even if not the most photogenic.
Finally this little chap - just because I like him...!!
