'Figure of Eight' Walk- Harrietsham to Wormshill

This takes about three hours at a fast pace. There are many possible diversions if you want to extend it. A shortened version can be combined with the walk described in the last post, in which case you need about 5-6 hours, again at a fast pace.

The photos were taken just yesterday.

This scarecrow dresses better than me!

Horse Mushroom (Agaricus arvensis). This one ended up as part of my dinner!
WARNING. Do not confuse with 'Yellow Stainer'(Agaricus xanthodermus) which is almost identical except that it bruises a bright yellow (and is poisonous).

The Parasol Mushroom (Macrolepiota procera). Also a tasty treat. These were left in situ.

Please be advised that I am not an expert on fungi. Do not base any decision on whether anything is safe to eat based on what I say here.

The weather was a bit changeable.

So what was this Emu doing on the North Downs?
