##fingerpostfriday We went in search of bellowing red deer. We saw a stag and hinds but we didn't hear him roar.

There's so much reylo on my Discover feed. It's like going back in time to 2016 -2019! I didn't personally have a good experience with certain cliques within the fandom. But I did read some great fanfic, see some amazing fan art, and it was a big part of my life during some very tough times.

This might be the latest I've ever seen harebells still out. The cyclamen is often in bloom at our local country park around this time of year. #bloomscrolling

I found one solitary fly agaric to usher in October and the countdown to Halloween on today's walk. 🍄 🎃

Fungi was quite thin on the ground in Clumber Park on today's walk. We did find a bit here and there. #fungifriends

The weather was unseasonably warm but the vibe in Clumber Park was definitely autumnal. There were some lovely displays in the glasshouse. 🎃

I'm back on my Stargate SG1 bullshit. I'd forgotten how much I loved this show back in the day. I don't know if I'll ever again feel the same deep affection for any shows/characters as the ones I loved in the 1990s/early 2000s - The X Files, Buffy, Stargate SG1, STTNG, & Seinfeld and Frasier.

There wasn't much fungi around at all in our local woodland on today's walk. We need more rain, I think. All I found was some sulphur tufts, some kind of yellow slime mold, and some shrivelled parasols. #fungifriends

For the Autumn Equinox, a photo I took in Castleton back in October 2021. There was a guy who lived there who did the most amazing Autumn/Halloween displays.

Michael Gove was sick of experts. I'm sick of gobshites who know Jackshit about anything being given endless airtime for their worthless ignorant opinions. All we hear are lies and misinformation day after day. I'm beyond sick of all that!

I think this is a sun dog, seen on today's walk. I always thought they were a cold winter sky phenomenon but it was 24ºC at the time.

Fungi from today's walk. I think the first one is old chicken of the woods. There were quite a few decaying specimens around the same beech tree. #fungifriends

It's amazing how accepting we are of crappy goods and services these days. Everything is getting more and more expensive while the quality for the price keeps plummeting. The basic (with ads) Netflix subscription is going up from £5.99 to £7.99 next month. I'll be cancelling and buying more DVDs.

I was taken with Florence's Seat in Lea Wood. We stopped there for a tea break on yesterday's walk. I can certainly understand why Florence Nightingale liked to spend time there when she lived in a nearby village with her family. The view was probably unobstructed in her day and no traffic noise!

Every time an autistic child/adult goes missing it's like a gut punch. We've been there with both of our sons. One was an escape artist and he managed to get away from us, a childminder, and schools on different occasions. All ended well for us all those times, but others are not so lucky. So sad.

The term 'mildly autistic' makes me cringe and want to scream. There is no such thing as mild autism. A person is simply autistic. The degree to which it affects the individual is down to many other factors e.g learning disabilities, ADHD, etc. It's autism+ and it's how all those conditions interact

If Trump is telling us not to worry about AI, I'm definitely going to worry about it. What does someone who has yet to display any human intelligence know about artificial intelligence?

It's parasol mushroom time! They're coming out in force in a field near our local woodland. #FungiFriends

If my rage could be harnessed for energy it would surely power a whole city. I do not understand how so many people are just shrugging along to the news on a daily basis.

I saw a lovely little common blue butterfly 🦋 on today's walk. I couldn't get a photo of it with its wings open, unfortunately. It was rather cool and windy weather.

There wasn't much fungi around on today's local woodland walk. The beefsteaks were all dry and decaying. I did like the little mushroom growing between the dead birches.

It was lovely to see some patches of heather still going strong today on the Budby Reserve and the longhorn cattle that graze there.

Are all the antivax people vegans? Surely, they should be because farmed animals are vaccinated for all kinds of diseases. I've stopped eating meat because I'm concerned about animal welfare and the impact of intensive farming on the environment. I'm fine with being vaccinated.

We have been for a gentle amble around Sherwood Forest. It was our first visit since the Major Oak was declared dead. Fungi season is only just getting going. We did see a bit of beefsteak and some brackets. #fungifriends 🍄

We've got some major thunder and lightning going on here ⛈️ I don't mind a thunderstorm but the loud cracks and bangs are a bit alarming!

We saw some beefsteak fungi and some kind of birch bracket on our wet woodland walk today. There was also a lot of foam at the bottom of some trees like soap bubbles. I'm not sure what all that was about. #fungifriends 🍄

The death of Elvis Presley. It's one of my earliest memories of anything. We were on holiday and there were TV rooms in hotels in those days. I remember everyone crowding around the TV to watch the news report and some were openly weeping. I knew who Elvis was because my grandad loved his music.

We went to see the heather on Stanton Moor this afternoon. It's a bit patchy because of all the hot and dry weather. Still very pretty in the sunshine. Afterwards, we took a little walk over to Doll Tor. A special bonus for us seeing black fallow deer on the way back.

Very sad to hear that Dolly Parton has died 💔💔💔 I've long been a fan of her music (particularly her original and best, IMO, I Will Always Love You) She spent her life making the world a better and brighter place and she will be very much missed. RIP Dolly 🩷

Another lovely little Holly Blue today by the Cromford Canal 🦋 We also saw a few fungi specimens in Lea Wood #fungifriends There's not been much about of late with it being so dry. The pigs that they have foraging in part of the woodland were cute.

If I’ve got to live through the end times is it too much to ask not to have to do it to a constant soundtrack of Reform gobshites spouting increasingly delusional and unhinged bullshit?
