Wintersett pm update 06.02.13

Anglers Gull Roost tonight held a 3rd W Yellow-legged Gull and   2  1st W Caspian Gulls.

I took shots of this large (20cm) fungus on Sallow Willow in Pits Wood this morning, but I can't identify it?   I'm hoping Cliff (or anyone else) can help.

Yes its a species of Oyster Fungi Ange (Pluerotus ostreatus)Its regarded as a delicasy and can be bought in supermarkets. I have eaten wild ones, but they are a bit bland.

Thank you all. I won't look up any recipes if they're not as tasty as they look.
