I'd Rather Be in the Lake District
This section shows photographs from outside the Lakes, often my own pictures but sometimes contributions from Lake District Now visitors. If you would like to take part please take a suitable photograph and .
A Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) on Iping Common, West Sussex. It is poisonous but not usually fatal, it gets it's common name because Albertus Magnus in the 13th century said it was a good fly killer when broken up in milk. If you are experiencing déjà vu it is because I posted a similar picture on the 30th September, (but this one is much better).
