The stinkhorn eggs are doing absolutely nothing and we had a heavy thunderstorm last night. I’ll check again tomorrow. I did find a few fungi this morning but the slugs had beaten me to most of them. I am also slow as every year I have to relearn the names of fungi I learnt the year before.
The mowers are out again and the new grain bin lid is fastened onto the combine. I’ll collect a couple of handfuls of grass from the deck when it returns and with a bit of luck there will be some stunning insects to snap.
Just a couple of pictures from today and one from a while ago.
This is Sulphur Tuft and this area is blessed with them, they are attractive but unfortunately not edible. I did pick a big bag of wild raspberries yesterday and then forgot to get any yogurt whilst out shopping; they were fine with a Weetabix and milk. I even had a little bonus protein as I noticed a couple of Mirid bugs in the bag but only found one whilst eating them.
These I found this morning and I think it is Honey Fungus. These are edible but not very tasty. I am not sure enough of the identification to bother trying them.
HONEY FUNGUS? 
I did think this ‘whatever’ was perfect but notice the slugs beat me to it’s stalk.
I am going to have sticky chicken with cauliflower, spring cabbage and brown rice for tea. Not often I make this much effort unless I have visitors and not usually then. I generally get a whole chicken as it is fractionally cheaper to either roast it in winter or joint and fillet it in summer. Then I realised chicken breasts already done are about a pound each and I usually end up giving half a whole chicken to the dogs. Sorry dogs I got a packet of breasts yesterday so only two small mouthfuls for you.
Where is the mower it ought to be back? I bet he has stopped for a chat and the insects are escaping. Ho Hum.

HONEY FUNGUS?This one is one of those that go slimy when wet but I doubt it is Porcelain fungus as they grow on trees and under branches in clumps. I have had a quick look but am so far non the wiser. I’m slow to special needs today.
