Yay, it worked! They certainly do look like M. rosae... the greeney legs, etc. Someone in the forum may confirm as I'm not an expert on these! I just dabble with most families...

Hi Goosey,

Thanks for looking!

Pink aphids you say... sound a bit like Rose Aphid, Macrosiphum rosae? There are several though. Feel free to post an ID request if you see them again...

Morning Shirley, saw you were logged in. Bit blowy and overcast here this morning - you're not missing anything! Was up and out early checking some local stuff this morning and disturbed a magnificent roebuck 300 m from the house. He'd been lying up in some rough for at least two days and I hope I haven't disturbed him too much for him to move on.
How are things in the NP? Do you get roe over there?

In the fog sounds like my situation on WATW, lol. I may jest but it's so frustrating not knowing why the IT gremlins affects me like they do just on one particular site.

The Coniston range looked lovely covered in snow yesterday Shirley and we've got the lightest dusting here this morning otherwise we've been snow free unlike some parts of the country.
Hope you're keeping well and getting ready to train the new growth on your honeysuckle!

Hope you're enjoying the snow in Holland Shirley, and not bleating in surprised astonishment about it all as much as we are in Britain. Anyone would think winter was a new phenomenom to hit these shores LOL

Best regards

I use a pseudonym on WATW so Flaxton will not be seen but we have spoken before.
Yes the SFM's grow April time and as long as you are not out to eat them they are just as good to find as the true Morels. I am sure you will find some one day.

Hi Shirley
You frequent the B side of the WA forums as well then. They are usually found in damp poor quality copse and I found a lot in such an area this year but the ones in the photo on the Gallery were just on a poor piece of grass at the side of our golf club car park. I have seen them there a few times so it was not a one off.These area is not in a copse and not damp. It is called the semifree Morel because they are part of the Morel family and the cap is only attached to the stipe at the top and although they are edible they don't taste wonderful and they are much less robust than the true Morels.
