Not what I was looking for, but good nonetheless as I have never seen this before. Does finding Mitrophora semilibera mean that this is the wrong envronment for Morchela esculanta? |
Well I'd be chuffed with that - more than chuffed in fact - as folk know from earlier threads on here I last saw this species in 1984 in Sea Wood at Ulverston and photographed it with my old Pentax 1000 and slide film.... I've been digital since 1999 and really want to apply the digi to this fabulous species - but have I found it since - despite searching - every year? Nope! Musn't be looking properly - or my eyesight is failing from age ......... or something!
Whether finding one rules out the other I'm not sure - but I am sure Nick or Fungi John will be along soon and will have the answer - but a good find fungi2bwith and a good pic
