We spotted some interesting fungi on our walk yesterday. Shaggy Ink Cap also known as Lawyers Wig. This is a common fungus often growing in small groups in woodlands or roadside. It has a woolly, scaly surface on the bell shaped toadstools. The gills beneath the cap are white, then pink , then turn black and melt into a black liquid filled with spores. Hence the ink cap name .
It is edible but only when young.
Come and join us on our walks and see what you can spot . https://walx.co.uk/groups/walx-durham/

The flora in Hamsterley Forest is stunning at the moment, The photos are of Valarian , spotted this morning on our walk through the Forest. This is a plant that has been used medicinally since the early Greeks and Romans. Historically, Valarian was used to treat insomnia, migraine, fatigue and stomach cramps.. Today, Valarian is promoted for insomnia, anxiety, depression, PMS, menopause symptoms and headaches. However it is worth pointing out that there is no robust scientific evidence to support its use.
