Gary Easton @garyfungi.bsky.social · 5hI think it went downhill after I left and the zoo closed. We'd had a golden wedding celebration at the HInd for my grandparents so later had one for my parents. At my parents' event there was a police raid. I wonder what Ollie would make of it all. 000

Reposted by Gary EastonDr Richard Bate @thenewgalaxy.bsky.social · 07/10/20267/10/26 #Cumbria - Today’s find was one of my highlights of the year so far. The Date Waxcap (Hygrocybe spadicea) is one of the UK’s rarest #chegd fungi and one that is notoriously difficult to nail down. Hopefully will come across some better examples next time… 1386

Found in Hampshire this week. They were massive (approx 50x40cm) & had the most delicious smell which filled the air. Don’t worry I didn’t eat them! This species has wide, fan-like lobes. #ukfungi 0134

Gary Easton @garyfungi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Disappointed but not surprised that no fungi ( or plants) have made it onto the new banknotes. I felt that Calocybe gambosa was a good patriotic alternative to Winston Churchill. None of the animals chosen live solely in the UK but would be considered European. Perhaps that's a good sign. 110
