Mushroom Hunt / Radiohead

We have been out looking for mushrooms several times now, and have yet to find anything too exciting.

I have a basket full of Common Puffballs. They are edible, but none of my books think they are worth the bother - so I’d be interested to hear opinions on this.

The collection we got last week went in the compost bin, as I wasn’t 100% confident that they were edible. Plus the books (yet again) said that Suillus bovinus (Cow bolete) are not really worth eating.

The haul

Hey-ho. We’re going off again tomorrow to have another hunt. Rumor has it that there are chantrelle and ceps in the woods near Cranbrook. This is according to a BHB (Big Hairy Biker) I met, who was also hunting mushrooms. Unfortunately he didn’t want to tell me exactly where they are because he wanted them. Maybe if I’d have had more tattoos he’d have confided in me.

Radiohead
In other news, I paid one pound to download the new Radiohead album (here) and now I wish I’d paid more. It’s a really great album. Like all the best albums, it takes a couple of listens to get it - but there are some really fabulous tracks on it. My favorite (currently) is: Faust Art (track 6).

I recommend getting it if you have a soul (in the strictly non immortal hokus-pokus sense)

I just downloaded the new Radio head as well. I paid £2.45 in all. I wish I’d paid a bit more as well. Love it.
