Hi tech?

 

we had one that analyzed the echolocation and represented it in a visual form which is easier for the human brain to evaluate! £1700!

Some shots from a couple of years ago from up in the Highlands of Scotland.

Is that Alladale?

Various locations on an around the Balmoral estate.

 

 

Haven't got to Alladale yet.

Ah, Balmoral is nice, some cracking people living & working there.

 

Alladale is a funny place, the locals don't like him. The staff don't like him. But the tourists do! Got some interesting beasties kicking about though:thumbup:

Surprisingly little in the way of fruiting around where I was staying in Burgundy over the last couple of weeks.

 

here's what I understand (thanks to my handy local fungal 'over'-lord) to be Russula delicans - the Milk-white Brittlegill

Very nice documentation Mr Humphries, close up to landscape context, your getting rather good at this!

[Nick Harrison]

looks like lovely scenery, did you have a nice time, hopefully not too much rain?

 

do you think there may have been less fb's around because the French are more likely to be out there picking mushrooms for the dinner plate?

Fantastic time, cheers.

 

you raise a very interesting point.

 

I get the impression from talking to foragers both in France & northern Spain that they really only take what they need for their & their extended groups pots, which seems to me to be sustainable & in keeping with the lifestyle over there as opposed to here.

Like the guy in the shot below who I met in the basque.

 

But that's only from a relatively limited personal perspective.

 

It's an ongoing debate across the mycology forums.

having said that there were people selling lots of Chanterelles in the markets around Burgundy and one of them in particular (last shot) was a bit funny about me taking images of him selling his produce so perhaps there are issues with how many are being harvested to be sold.
