So called because it is reputedly one of the most flavoursome of the wild fungi. I would not fancy trying with this one, which is growing on a dead tree right by the Chapel Ash roundabout on the ring road.

All the leaves at eye level of the trees in Chillington woods recently seemed to have been thoroughly eaten, presumably by caterpillars, although I couldn’t spot any of the guilty parties themselves.

These water lilies on Badger lower pool were just about to come out when pictured in late May.

The catkins of this poplar were releasing their downy seeds.

Another set of pictures of ducklings.

These were on the canal at Coalbrookdale.

Two dandelion seed heads: one as yet undisturbed, the other with almost all the seed already dispersed.
