A crisp, sunny day in Hampstead Heath, looking deceptively like the height of summer, except for evidence found which points to the onset of Autumn. These specimens were gathered by Francoise during a guided walk by reknowned Herbalist Christopher Hedley. Identified objects: Yellow/Orange is Chicken of the Woods; Light brown top is Tawny Grisette (you can see the gills on the top of the mushroom too); Dark brown top is a piece of an unusually shaped Boletus. Unidentified objects: Purple top. Any suggestions?
