December Walk

note for the walking group webpage : 'The Forest is extremely saturated and underfoot conditions are very wet, muddy and slippery. So for the December walk wellies or waterproof footwear is highly recommended!'

November's walk from Bolten's Bench Lyndhurst

36 and 3 dogs gathered at the top car park Bolten's Bench for an excellent walk that encompassed heathland and woodland. Of note was the beech? tree with its many woodpecker holes. We also went by the plaque celebrating the planting of 900 Sessile Oaks in Williams Copse.

From Brian & Pat
Someone asked me about the Fly Agaric mushroom, the bright red cap with white specs, It is well known to be poisonous and hallucinogenic, but rarely fatal.. the white wavy edged fungi in the photo looks like the white Domecap, which is very poisonous and can cause genetic damage. This is according to our field guide to mushrooms.
