When I was taking my photos, Sunday, I noticed another tree stump covered in them. But brambles prevented my going there. On the way I nearly stepped on a twig when I noticed colour on it. Teeny-tiny mushrooms:

Same here. Itโ€™s not wet enough yet. Thereโ€™s good specimens to be found but not in great numbers yet. Except for sulphur tufts:

Me too. I use an app for that, which I then check against Wikipedia. If they donโ€™t match, I will not use the name. From now on, Iโ€™ll use LBM as a generic for unidentified fungi. Great suggestion! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The #referee is Jack Taylor (England), whoโ€™d go on to ref the 1974 World Cup final. The first leg, in Rotterdam, had been reffed by Dr Karol Galba (then Czechoslovakia), who in 1966 ran the line in the World Cup final.

In 1831 Hokusai published his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, introducing The Great Wave which redefined ukiyo-e composition, inspired Western Impressionists, and shifted global perceptions of Japanese art #ArtHistory

Iโ€™m not one for gossiping, but did you see that ring on the brideโ€™s finger? Bunch of dough that must cost! Looks like sheโ€™s shaken her fannie a lot for the guy

Seen in the first photo, the #referee is Erich Linemayr (Austria). One of the great names of the 1970s.

Braved the storm on my bike today to get some farmer's cheese. Passed this guy on the way.

Beige coloured book cover in oblong format, 10 by 15. issued by the Federation Franรงaise de Football, it's the Code de l'Arbitre et Guide des Joueurs for 1943-1944. Basically, a book about the laws of football and advice for referees and players. There's handwriting on the bottom, with the name Geneivre Gilbert, and an address.

In this week: a World War II #referees chart but French! This 1943-1944 booklet - Code de l'arbiter et Guide des Joueurs - once owned by Gilbert Geneivre (as seen on the cover) survived the war to end up in my collection. Feels very special somehow.
