On Monday 5 November David led a 5 kilometre walk around La Celle Guenand.

| Meeting at the newly restored church. |
 |
| We stopped to admire this house, which the owner told us was formerly a café. |
 |
| We found these Giant Puffballs Calvatia gigantea (Fr. Vesse-de-loup géante) on the side of the road by a farm house. The farmer told us he found 5 of them, but these two were too old to eat (you can see the brown staining caused by the spores, which is a sign they are too old to eat). |
 |
| Big Sheath Mushroom Volvopluteus glioicephalus (Fr. Volvaire gluante), found in almost every field and roadside. |
 |
| A grand old house with a greenhouse which retains its original staging inside. |
 |
| A view of the church from behind. |

I didn't know any puffballs were edible.... learned something new reading your posts
Katie: They are like tofu -- sponges that absorb whatever flavour you put with them.
