They don't seem to be as prolific in my area as they sometimes are, I've only seen one single fly agaric in the woods up to now. I'm so glad you managed to retrieve that beautiful knife, it certainly blended well into the dead leaves.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-78893866508944104462009-11-08T10:23:46.912+00:002009-11-08T10:23:46.912+00:00yum yum yum...I adore autumn and fungus foraying! ...yum yum yum...I adore autumn and fungus foraying!
