I walked in the Peak District with my friend all day looking for interesting fungi and amphibians (our respective hobbies) and found nothing at all that we wanted to study, and no edible mushrooms. On the way back I stopped at a location in which I had last year found some St. George's mushrooms and lo and behold... we filled our bags to the brim! I can look forward to some very tasty meals over the next few days.
I hope you know your mushrooms!
(i read in the paper how this woman died by eating poisonous mushrooms :S)

Today i discovered that there is something called: NOMOPHOBIA. It is the fear of losing one's mobile phone connection, whereby one is unable to make contact with others via their beloved device. It can also related to losing this 'special' device itself or running out of credit. So, fellow Revivalers, who is in denial of suffering from this phobia?
No, i have something BETTER to share with you all and because it was such a humbling experience for me, i think it deserves it's own blog post, so do have a read in your own time.
Seraphim,
The amatoxin mushroom poisoning she experienced is a nasty affair indeed and thanks for your concern! St. George's mushrooms are very unmistakable. They have come up later than usual because of the weather - any later and misidentification on sight does become a possibility - but they have a very particular aroma of freshly milled flour, and are one of the few species I can initially detect just by smell!
tbh the mistake she made isn't one I would be at risk of making, not just because I'm generally cautious but because she picked a species that is well documented and shouldn't be touched with a bargepole.
Please, nobody think on account of my bragging that it is easy and safe to go picking mushrooms, it is a lovely hobby if you know the risks and if you don't...
(ftr I'm more than happy to ID any wildlife, when I can, for anyone who has decent photos and information about where it was.)
The St. George's mushrooms were incredibly delicious!
Hi, my name is LtS and i have Nomophobia.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Hi back LtS. What happy news to share with us all.
I'm Hummus and I can happily say that Nomophobia doesn't affect me.

Tough, it's there! And i just had to rub it in that little bit more.
My happy news, this week I found adders and slow worm, and a badger came right up to me (but it knew better than to mess and scarpered when it realised who I was). Also did a lot of walking and foraging and went to the markets where I picked up some new flavours like Cornish Nettle Yarg. Been a great week. I will post some other shots in the peace and love thread but these go here.

Congrats!

I've tanned. A lot.
Now i don't need to ask my dad to take me abroad.
Tanned in less than 24 hours.
Should make headlines.
I don't tan very easily, I'd like one although when I did have a tan after while I wanted it gone.
