A Misty Lanscape in Thetford forest


The early morning mist changed the landscape making it a magic start to the day. We met a knowledgeable  forager who let us see his find.  There was a large old piece of fungus that he was going to clean and dry to make into stock.  We were told it is important to leave spores behind to ensure the fungi continue to flourish.  Mushroom hunting is  popular in most of Europe, Nordic, Baltic and Slavic countries and there were a few groups of Polish people collecting fungi who seemed to be knowledgeable.  I began to think there would be nothing left to photography!

  1. Hi Jane. The fungus labelled 'psylocybe semilanciata ' from Santon Downham is misidentified. P.Semilanciata is unknown in Breckland. The image could be left unlabelled as the majority.
