'Bore da, draig!' ๐ This #ADoorableTuesday, a bit of detail from the old 13th century church doors at Worfield, Salop. Like all good medieval church fixtures they were at one point appropriated by the local farm to use for agricultural purposes before being returned to the church in the modern day! A bit of casual 1770s graffiti top right.

A beautiful helvella crispa found under oak on a suburban roundabout today for #FungiFriday https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/helvella-crispa.php "Field guides that cover edibility as a topic generally state that Helvella crispa is'edible but of poor quality';however,it is well documented that WhiteSaddles can cause stomach upsets unless very thoroughly cooked,at which point they lack texture and taste.There is also concern that Helvella fungi may contain carcinogens.What's the point of taking risks for such a dubious gain?'
