Wooden Mushrooms In The Forest!

[gordi]

That's great Gordi... but I thought wooden mushrooms migrated in the winter?

I can only assume that this young lady discovered one of the rare indigenous wooden fungus
that are spore-less and occasionally display a tartan-like hue.

But eh, what do I know?!


(Cheers for the nice stuff, it's a relief from the negative news!)

Ah, well... right there you're making the very common error of confusing them with Swallows.
The wooden mushrooms are actually lighter in colour, but probably heavier in weight.
They are also slightly less aerodynamic and tend to have great difficulty flying, never mind navigating their way to Africa.
The spore-less ones actually died out (obviously) and Tartan Hue is (I believe) still singing and playing the pipes in a wee boutique hotel in the cairngorms (last I heard).

(You are Most welcome!)
