@premierinn what on earth is going on? Booked a room, it came through with wrong date (made it for today so too late to cancel), money taken from account and invoice received but it does not exist on my BB account. All your lines ringing out and your chat and messages are offline

@RuaTrindade These days, adjectives being turned into nouns is the least of our worries 🙄

Seriously @BootsUK what genius in your marketing team thought plonking pointless bits of waste into your packaging was a good idea? Trying to reuse and reduce packaging and reduce our footprint is hard enough without this crap. Give your heads a wobble. #waste #litter

@SEWBReC @CoalspoilFungi Hi Emma,
Have sent you a PM on Facebook (prob gone into your requests folder) regarding an article I have commissioned.

Great to see so many pyramidal orchids and marsh helleborine during this past weekend’s courses.

St George’s Mushroom

As it’s St George’s Day, we’ve written an article on the edible spring mushroom that’s punched its name from the English patron saint.

We have always advised our course participants to only pick one leaf per bulb of wild garlic to allow the plant to photosynthesise.

Unfortunately, we have seen large healthy patches disappear over a few years once mass harvesting year after year starts to happen.

Easy way to avoid confusion between Blackthorn and Cherry Plum blossom at this time of year

The festive magic of fly agaric

The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) is without doubt the most iconic of mushrooms.

Fungi! We've always said they'll save the planet!
Exciting research ahead https://t.co/kvyJ6juoDa

A pink gilled Solitary Amanita (Amanita solitaria var subeilliei). Quite a rare find in the UK, but the calcareous soil and Beech trees at @cerneygardens provide the perfect habitat.
Not an edible species but a lovely find earlier this autumn.
