Magic Mushrooms

Posted on by

We went for a long walk at Epping Forest which was so relaxing. I’ve never seen so many fungi in one forest, amazing!!! All the different colors, shapes and sizes. Have a look at my pictures by clicking the link below; it’s the url to my photo galleries. I would love to go again soon when the sun is out again. It was a beautiful sunny day, next weekend we will be down south staying with S. and M. for a bonfire night and a walk too so hopefully I will have more pictures of mushrooms…

Fungi are a special group of living organisms that include yeast, moulds, slime fungi, rusts, bracket as well as the familiar mushroom. There are over 70000 different species worldwide. Epping Forest is home to over 1200 species making it one of the richest fungal sites in the United Kingdom.
The diversity of fungi found in Epping Forest is one of the reasons why so much of the Forest has been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Many creatures feed on the fungi and they are host to some rare invertebrates that are unique to these ancient woodlands. The list of Forest fungi includes some rare species that are specifically protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Currently the Conservators have a deliberate policy of leaving fallen dead wood. Although this may look untidy, the decaying wood is a vital link in the recycling of nutrients through the actions of decomposers, including funghi and invertebrates.

Email is working fine because I’ve changed everything overnight [October 5/6]. My website has been offline on October 6 for a couple of hours during the morning. I’ve uploaded all the stuff so it’s working again. Today I’m having a terrible headache because I only slept for 5 hours, which wasn’t enough obviously.
We came home this morning at 05.00; I. celebrated his birthday yesterday. J. picked me up at 16.00 because I promised C. to help her out with cooking. We made Thai Tempura and Thai Curry, Tiramisu and Chocolate dipped Strawberries with whipped cream.
I’m very tired and I need fresh air, so we’ve decided to go over to I.’s, pick up the car and go to a forest to have a long walk, breath in some tree and grass vapour and enjoy the sunshine, since it has been raining most of the week.
It’s bright and shiny, I just wish the clouds in my head would go soon so it can be bright and shiny in my head too. I don’t have a hangover because I didn’t drink much it’s just being tired and having to socialise and speak English all the time…
My head is fuzzy, going to get ready now, I want forest…
