nasty weather

Weather insists on staying as bad as it has been for the last couple of days.

So plenty of time for me to browse my archives; which did remind me that I hardly haven't bothered you this year with mushrooms (yet). So here now is one: Tylopileus felleus; extremely bitter, but nevertheless one of the most 'mushroomy' looking ones. (Many a mushroom seeker has been tempted to try and eat it ... and a very few ever have succeded in eating more than a spoonful.)

This one however doesn't look quite so fresh any more; it's what these look like when they are really old.
