CBC and I headed off to Northumberland on Sunday afternoon of half term. It was a last minute decision but a happy one.
On our first full day in Hexham, I managed to lure CBC into taking a walk with me in Swallowship woods. I love this ancient woodland- so close to town and worthy of walk- interesting and varied and easy to access. I also hoped for Fungus spotting but would I be disppointed, I wondered?
Luckily not!
CBC spotted our first find: It was a rather battered Fly Agaric- the stereotypical fairy toadstool.
This was confirmed as I looked further down the log and saw these examples.
If you know the names of any of these, do share! I love seeing mushrooms so let me know if you have any photos you have spotted!
And fear not, there's more to come soon!
