Thought you might David. It was snapped about 2 feet above the fungus. Lots of Polypore (i think) also. The pic was taken in Hamaroy district in the Nordland County inside the Artic C. Not much else apart from skinny Birch, Spruce, Rowan etc.

 

The Pollards are in Geneva 2 weeks earlier.

 

I'll have more pics when I get the time. Off to Tromso tomorrow morning, got a couple of hours stop over then off to here in the afternoon.

Which, incidently, when looking on wiki tonight found this and immediately thought it could be of interest to a few of the arbs.

Had heard of the GSV, but not seen much about it, good link Rich.

 

 

Imagine the Herbarium at Kew must be involved somehow.

 

What a 'cool' job
