The Fung Hunters

Sometimes it's a passion, sometimes it's just a hobby & sometimes it's actually part of the Job.

Mostly, it's just kinda weird.

But it certainly delivers on the fascinating, challenging & rewarding fronts

Some of the players (in no particular order) on the hunt..........

Monkey-D "The shadow" Humphries

Edward "The Vet" Green

Tony "The Hamadryad" Croft

David "The Book" Lonsdale

Casper "NuttyArb" Price

Jake & Alexander "Daddy, here's another fungis" Humphries

& Johnny "The Boss" Meares

Pictures from Hampstead, Broadway, Kent, Spain, Grenwich, Hatfield, Hadley & Staverton

I reckon the highway code should include a chapter on how to pull up & park sensibly when hunting down the roadside fung
