On Thursday 18 November we walked around Chambon, so that was two days in a row. It was foggy the whole day, damp and cold. Nevertheless the walk was invigorating, with Joel making us go up and down hills several times for 10 kilometres. It really got my endorphins going, but Simon really struggled with his glasses fogging up and needing his Ventoline. Here are some photos from the walk.

| Parasol Mushroom Macrolepiota procera (Fr. Coulemelle). |

| Trooping Funnel mushroom Clitocybe geotropa (Fr. Clitocybe géotrope). There were lots of these large and distinctive mushrooms, which grow in lines or circles on the edges of forest trails. |

I love ferns! I didn’t know of l’aigle impérial.
chm: it is extremely abundant. Maybe you know it by another name? It has lots of vernacular names -- Aquiline, Fougère commune, Fougère impériale, Fougère-aigle, Grande Fougère, Porte-aigle.
OK, I knew about Grande Fougère. Thank you
chm: I was fairly confident you would know it. It's hard to miss, in any forest.
The boot is priceless. Do not eat the red mushroom!

bonnie groves poppe: Well, you probably could eat the mushroom, and find nothing much happened -- maybe a vision or two and some projectile vomiting, but it depends on the amount of muscarin actually present, which is very variable.
Hmmmm, I try to avoid projectile vomiting, especially in public ....

bonnie groves poppe: yes, it is generally considered anti-social.
