Anyone see that FUNGUS on South Today ?

[Everest]

It was in the Argus. I thought I remembered it being found in Stanmer though....

You're correct Yorkie baby. It was the hedgehog fungus found in Stamner Park.

Horrible thing. Let's go check Falmer

I can see Cuttress now, scouring the site looking for rare fungus, molds and spores.

"Your honour this development must not proceed as I have recently discovered this rare fungus growing near a couple of trees. It's quite rubbery and has a distinctive protrusion near the top with an interesting open base. It also features a number of fascinating ridges along the length of the spore."
"May I point out to the witness that the exibit appears to be a condom. Mates I believe, ribbed for extra pleasure."

You sure it aint just someone dumped an old mop in the woods?

O/T How did your swim go, I missed the thread presumably. The salt water might have helped....

Went well. 140 idiots running into the Solent. Water temp was allegedly 6 degrees, wind chill knocked it down a bit further. Some people were definitely unprepared for the shock of cold water immersion, and seemed surprised that the slipway had a drop off at the end! The ones that fell off the end went straight under, getting plenty of cold water inside them at the same time - one or two had to be yanked out a bit sharpish. Swam around until they had cleared the casualties from the water, then we got out. It was cold (and I am fairly used to cold water immersion) - I remember thinking it was odd that the water was salty, so it must have hit me quite hard! Back again next year, but the next fund raiser is a 32 mile round-the-harbour bike ride in June (ish).


Raised £500, so well chuffed - and thanks to all that donated.

Anybody got access to a small crop-spraying plane? Perhaps a couple of passes over the proposed site just to make sure there is nothing "interesting" growing there would be useful.

I will be out with a flamethrower next weekend to make sure that the wildlife is encouraged to relocate.

Can you eat it? bet it is nice fried with garlic.

Why a plane? Couldn't we just send 1066 there to talk to the plants/fungi/whatever. That'll kill off anything.

Yes - but we don't want to be accused of inhumane treatment.

Not mushroom for me to add anything here...

Good one! You sound like a Fun Ghi.

Whats the scale on that photo? Is the fungus huge?

Tank is hiding underneath it. Big enough for you?

Easily big enough for two of me if Tank's in there
