Erica Thicket

Old Farm Site 

Tuesday 6 October 2020

After 2 days of constant rain, Tuesday was a lovely warm and sunny day and ideal conditions for working. A large thicket of tall Erica remained from the last event at this site and big inroads was made on it. A further 20 square metres of this patch remains, plus a stretch of smaller Erica and a number of Gorse bushes, all flowering profusely, not that another season will have much impact on the seed base.

Morchella elata is a species of fungus  in the family Morchellaceae. It is one of many related species commonly known as black morels, and until 2012 the name M. elata was broadly
applied to black morels throughout the globe. Like most members of the genus, M. elata is a popular edible fungus and is sought by many mushroom hunters.

That looks tasty
