Thought I might share this. Fiddling around with a photo of a basket of mushrooms picked yesterday, until it looks rather like it smells if your brain works like mine does. #foraging #synesthesia #mushrooms #photography #art

Somebody flytipped this FABULOUS old tin. And you know what's cooler than that? IT'S GOT BIKE PARTS IN IT! #Flytipping #Cycling #Bikes

Epic and quite varied mushroom haul. Sorted, and graded for storage, every mushroom checked out of the basket with as much care as it was checked in. Pan full to be cooked down, more to keep fresh. Ain't a bad harvest today. #mushrooms #foraging #WildFood

Half way point. Stopping for coffee. #foraging #mushrooms #CoffeeBreak #WildFood

Scarlet elf cups (Sarcoscypha coccinea) will be appearing in the woods right about now. Hope to find some this weekend. Meanwhile here's some from last year. Edible but far better left where they are I think.

Made apple pie/cake again. This one. This time with added cinnamon and raisins. It remains a surprisingly excellent dish. Kind of a variant on an apple charlotte. From "Soyers Shilling Cookery for the People", a facsimile copy of the 1860 edition. #cooking #apples #dessert #food

Service tree. Delicious berries when they're bletted (like, gone soft late in the season, sweet and tart like cola bottle sweets) and wonderful autumn colour.

Lunchtime stroll. A few horse mushrooms, parasols and field blewits. Being extremely restrained in what we pick right now because our stored stocks of dried mushrooms are pretty much full #mushrooms #fungi #foraging #food

Friday D&D group may make it as far as the castle tonight... #D&D #DungeonsAndDragons #rpg
