Advice on collecting Fungi to Eat

From a post by FungiJohn at WildAboutBritain:

If you are not 100 percent certain that a fungus is edible then you should not eat it!
If you do collect fungi for consumption take three samples:
  One for yourself
  One for your Doctor
  And another for the Coroner

Ice House

The trees and bushes have been cleared around the ice house in Whiteknights Park and its presence is now obvious to anyone who walks by that way.

For more about this ice house see this post from 2006 and this Flickr set.

The gate on the entrance has been secured and you can no longer get inside.
