  1. Nature shows its mettle at the old steelworks theguardian.com/environment/ar

    "#Ravenscraig: A place once of coke ovens and cooling towers is now enlivened with #orchids and #stonecrop, and swards of grasses... once the site of the largest #steelworks in Europe, which was closed and demolished more than 30 years ago... Mosses cover cracked concrete foundations, enlivened by beautiful, almost luminescent clumps of #BitingStonecrop. Everything is muted by #birches and #mosses and grasses"

  2. Gestern am #Fotomontag war ich im #Wald unterwegs, unter hohen Buchen und Eichen auf Pilz- und Fototour. Einen kleinen violetten Ritterling gefunden, sonst erst mal 2 Stunden nix. Hab dann die Location gewechselt, und siehe da, bei passenden Symbiosepartnern wie #Birken und #Kiefern gab's dann #Birkenpilze in ordentlicher Zahl und Größe, dazu noch eine Menge Sand- oder #Kuhröhrlinge. Heute roch es hier daher wunderbar nach getrockneten Pilzen😋🍄

    Yesterday on
    #PhotoMonday I was out in the #forest, on a mushroom and photo tour. Found a small purple knapweed, otherwise nothing for 2 hours. Then I changed the location, and lo and behold, with suitable symbiosis partners like #birches and #pines, there were then #birch #mushrooms in decent numbers and sizes, plus a lot of #sand or #carrot mushrooms. Today it smelled wonderfully of dried mushrooms here😋🍄

  3. Good morning from La Vigne, my abandoned #vineyard in #bugey #france. I’ve identified 36 species of trees on this three hectare plot. None planted in the seven years I’ve been here. Just indigenous. The box #buxus is being killed by #boxcaterpillar and the #spruce by spruce bark beetle. And #ash die-back is just starting. But others seem ok including my favourite silver #birches pictured here. Wishing you a good Sunday. PS don’t know if you followed the #johnmastodon chat yesterday - 🤩.
