At the weekend we went to Brean Down,
it used to have a fort there and in the 1st and 2nd World wars
they used it as a defence outpost.

UA new species of fungi has been found in Wentwood South Wales V
it is called Aprilis Imbecillus and it is an Amanita which is very poisonous.
Unfortunately I do not have a pic of it as it was only found at the start of this week.
It is sulphur yellow both cap and stem with rusty red gills and has a sickly smell.
It mainly grows with Pines.
