Plenty of funghi out and what a beast to come across.

excellent those

No IDea for me, save for an appreciation of the shots and approval of a good walk.

The beasty one is a good one,just leave the red hanky in your pocket.

Lovely set. That last one reminds me of washed out chicken of the woods. We have it here, but it's always quite yellow. I have seen some pale like this though
