A Visit To Capital City


Yup.   A visit to the state capital always calls for gentleman to get all dressed up.  On this case, Billy-Bob and Billy-Bob Junior were visiting the folks at Capital City Penitentiary.

Make Room For A Mushroom


Every year, thousands of mushrooms are purchased for Christmas. People buy them "to have in an omelette" or "maybe we'll have a fry-up" or "I fancy a mushroom rissoto on BoxingDay". Laudable aims.

However the reality is that the musrooms are left forgotten at the back of the fridge, alongside the trifle-infused cheese, and are thrown out in  January when mum has a clear out fridge day.

It's a waste.

Remember - A Mushroom Is For Christmas, Not For Life.

Bonus - No CGI, This REALLY Happened.

Bonus 2 - Remember to clear off all snow from your car.

More Funghi


It's been a while since the last picture of mushrooms, so time to wheel out this pair of tiny devils. This species is the Peacock's Knee Mushroom, and is a native of Wiltshire, tho' it has been spreading as far as Staffordshire, most likely due to Global Warming. ( The name derives from the belief that the mushroom cap looked like a peacock's patella.

The Mushroom Hunters


What's fun about this hobby is that you generally know nothing about the story behind the picture. Sometime you know when te slide was processed, and occassionally there will be a few words scrawled on the slide. And that's it.

So your brain starts looking for clues, making stories, trying to make sense.  On the slide above, I'm guessing that they're out collecting wild mushrooms...gumboots, baskets, woodland. Yes, it seems likely.   And yet, some people seem not to be dressed for a day in the country. Were they kidnapped by an errant band of mycologists ?  Have they been over-indulging in 'shrooms already.

If you have a better theory, please...speak up !
