    Mycology Lesson of the Day

    These delicate little things are growing in my mini-meadow....

    These are almost certainly known as Conocybe. There are several species of Conocybe, all inedible. Most grow in grassland.

    Some species of Conocybe contain psilocybin, the hallucinogen used by the Mazatecs of Central America for religious purposes.

    Common name is Dunce Cap, from the cone-like cap. The genus name 'cono-' comes from the Greek cono meaning a cone.

    Groups of mushrooms, like these, are known as 'troops'. That seems to be the collective noun. A troop of mushrooms.

  • Morning All.

    What a busy lot of posters you have been.

    I can remember Horace Batchelorimage in the distant past and Radio Luxembourg in my youth.

    Nice pic Gary,- it's a bit ghostly round here, everyone must be at work or getting ready for the day, and of course Ernie aka Geoff has gone back to bedimage

    I've not been to Luxembourg, did consider it last year, it looks lovely, lots of different areas, but isn't it a bit out of you way coming back from Spain Geoff?.

    I'm please Sid has gone from SCD, he gave the impression that he didn't get on with Ola. It was a good show on Saturday.

    Have a nice dayimage

    Morning everyone,image

     Not a bad day here. I also had a better nights sleep although I do think it takes a day or two to adjust your bodyclock.

    Interesting toadstools . I remember reading an article on the Mazatecs and seem to remember they discovered a new species of salvia image

    Need to feed the birds again today now that we have a jay eating everything in sight. He's been back again this morning.

    Have a good day,everyone. image

    I have slept better and I feel on the road to recoveryimage Jo I feel bad complaining about a cold considering what you are coping with.image

    Geoff my niece lived in Luxembourg last year, she said it was very expensive and a great location to visit other countriesimage

    XF I got the impression that Jade was struggling with the workload and family commitments. Jahmeen did not follow the Halloween themeimage

    SCD- I never enjoy the Halloween edition as I feel that the make up does not help them express the dance properly.

    Hello fellow fork folk.

    Had an enjoyable belly dance workshop and party yesterday, many people went to town on dressing up. I still have greenish hair this morning as I haven't had a shower yet.

    Like the tiny fungi, Georg, we used to have troops (hehe) of those on the school field.

    Never been to Luxembourg, sorry, just about remember 208.

    Agree about Sid exiting SCD, he did seem a bit moody and strange to me.

    Kate, glad to hear the lurgi is abating.

    Back up again-what have I missed?

    Battywoman-Luxembourg is a bit of a diversion-at the moment it is just an idea-it looks like pretty little place that no-one visits-I feel sorry for the Luxembourgitesimage-but if it is expensive.............

    I am sorry Olaimage-has left SCD-my sole reason for looking has gone image

    Kate-thanks for the info-glad you are feeling a bit betterimage-you need a halloween nameimage

    Has anyone ever seen a pixie sitting on a toadstool?Georg???

    There was  a strange film years ago called the "Boy With Green Hair"
