dogs are great, and a very good excuse for a little wood walking.

I found her on my way to work one day and she was never claimed.. not sure how old but she's not young!

 

Yes they are a good excuse- although she gets distinctly fed up when she has to stand about while I take photos of random things!

 

I will give WAB a go, thanks.

I have no idea where it came from, just a snatch from thousands of wasted hours trawling the WWW for information!

 

I suspect it is an old victorian book ilustration, its cool! I love the old charcoal and lead ilustrations the victorians did, awsome artists.

It's interesting, not seen anything like it before.

Have posted on WAB, no replies as yet. Have been looking at pictures and think it may be some sort of wax cap.

& pray tell, why would one imagine that?

 

I have a inkling that amounts to having scratched the surface of fungal Id.

 

 

If it is as the WAB geeks suggest a Tubaria spp, then it's new to me. Agarics are a big ole bunch of Fung, & not a strong point for me.

 

 

 

Nice shots Katie
