OT: how the mushroom got its name

Recent mushroom photos shown on PDML suggest to me that you may find this article interesting. It’s the sort of article I love which takes some small little unconsidered thing and uses it to weave a great path through history and culture:

Re: OT: how the mushroom got its name

Interesting article. The mushroom is called "puntig kaalkopje" in dutch, something like "pointed bald head". No idea why (except it does resemble a pointed bald head) Toine On Mon, 30 Nov 2020 at 15:45, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > Thanks for sharing that interesting tale. > > Dan Matyola >

Re: PESO - Beach House

Peter, I’ve shot that building several times over the years that my parents were living nearby. Several years ago it looked as though it was going to fall down; and the following year it had a new roof, porch, and paint job. Now it looks as though it’s decaying again. Just found a story about

Re: OT: how the mushroom got its name

Nice reading indeed. However, the 7 years in jail for picking a mushroom from a meadow sounds a bit unrealistic in most western countries. Henk Op 2020-11-30 om 18:15 schreef Toine: Interesting article. The mushroom is called "puntig kaalkopje" in dutch, something like "pointed bald head". No

Re: Cold and foggy

The sign on the gate is fascinating. Do you carry and use the mentioned hand sanitizer before opening the gate? In the Netherlands many people have a very relaxed (and silly) attitude on covid. If I would use hand sanitizer during my walks I would be laughed at. Cissbury ring is now on my list

Er, no. I use hand sanitizer when it is on offer at the entrance to a shop. I tried to keep my distance when I was walking, but there was no-one around to keep my distance from. One of the ‘wild’ ponies did get rather too close for my comfort though, and it wasn’t wearing a mask. Perhaps it

I agree it's not a frond, but I wouldn't call it a shaft either. Perhaps a seed head? In any event, that is a fine image; great composition. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Mon, Nov 30, 2020 at 8:25 PM ann sanfedele wrote: >

Went for a walk up to Cissbury Ring today, out through a rather beautiful and empty valley, up to the hill fort and back by an unusual straight track which leads from the hill fort to the sea and was probably a drove way at some point in the pre-Roman times. The track is apparently the baseline

Yes, "Seed Head" is right. When we were kids we used to work (stroke) large ones up one coat sleeve, across the shoulders and down the other sleeve. Alan C On 01-Dec-20 03:46 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: I agree it's not a frond, but I wouldn't call it a shaft either. Perhaps a seed head?
