As it was a bank holiday this weekend, I figured that I’d spend some time at home with my mum & gran in the New Forest.

On my walk this morning, I found a fungus that when I got home looked like the rather sought after Chanterelle, so I went back in the afternoon to get some more pictures and pick a specimen for closer examination.

On the way back to the location, I got some good shots of a Golden Ringed Dragonfly feeding on a bee, and also a common darter.

I posted my fungi shots to the Wild About Britain Forum and the general consensus is that they are indeed of a Chanterelle, needless to say the location is marked in my GPS for future reference.
