When the woodland floor erupts

[janey]

Where's the woodland, David? I need to get out of slob mode and it looks like a good place to go and bimble and root around in the undergrowth for a few hours.

This ones just east of the top end of potters Bar.

 

Remnant of the Enfield Chase.

 

Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust Ltd | Local Reserves | Fir and Pond Wood

 

Just litterally stumbled across it the other day.

 

Real mixture, Hornbeam/Sweet Chestnut coppice, Alder, Oak standards, the odd Beech & a Cricket Bat willow stand.

 

Couple of decent bits of water as well

 

 

Roughly thirty hectares.

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed.

 

Sounds like there may be a budding one, latently awaiting the bug.

 

 

Especially as your always around such great fung/wood interaction.
