I'm heading east for the weekend. It looks like another cloudless weekend. I'm feeling pretty unlucky this year. I haven't been able to get out there as much as in previous years, and every time I've been out there, I couldn't bring the clouds with me.
It's a weird thing to be grumpy about. But here I am. Grumpy about a clear sky.

The clock tower of the Launceston Grammar School catches the last rays of the setting sun. The school was established in 1846 in the heart of Launceston itself, but moved to this Mowbray campus in 1924.

We came across this old fashioned public school as we were driving to a local supermarket whilst on a short break away with my in laws.

What can I say. A nice place for a stroll on Sunday afternoon and a brilliant place for fungi. It has some lovely trees.
It feels like it is a type of Lepista. Much smaller than Blewits though 4.5 cms across cap.

You'd think someone at Cox corporate would have caught this on their mass-billing envelopes. Well, then again, maybe not.
The delights of bad spelling and bad grammar. But hey, it's art.
Shot with a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens from 1973 at full aperture. Incredible sharpness and bokeh.
Burnsall Grammar School. Built in 1601, with money from William Craven, born in Burnsall. He then went on to be Lord Mayor of London.
Built in 1614, this unusual design has the school room built on stilts to accommodate a butter market below at street level.

A healthy one. Oddly there were far fewer than the last few years and yet the very rare Powdercap Strangle appeared for the first time. The Parasite grows up through the stem and puts out a purple mushroom cap. It is much smaller than the host .

Not been inside but love the exterior. The grounds are full of interesting nature. One of the fungus species we found there is globally rare.

It has been -4C. for days, so I was amazed to find this. There were even two button ones coming through.
A fly which disguises itself as a wasp. The larvae are internal parasites of bumblebees. Record sent in.

Photos sent off for ID UPDATE Less than 40 records for Staffordshire so a good spot.
This survived several days of below freezing temperatures. I took a pic of the same fungus a week before and left the cap there.
The moss is Springy Lawn Moss and it makes this a lovely bouncy bit of grass to walk on.

I don't see this very often even though it is common.

The building, which was actually Bartlett’s third school building, was completed in 1909 at a total cost of around $21,000. It was located on a full city block and centered diagonally on that block. It featured ten rooms, three offices, and an auditorium. It housed all grades from 1909 until 1917, the elementary grades from 1917 through 1966, and the primary grades from 1966 until 1988.
Hawkshead Grammar School in Hawkshead, Cumbria, England was founded in 1585 by Archbishop Edwin Sandys, of York, who petitioned a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to set up a governing body. The early School taught Latin, Greek and sciences, including arithmetic and geometry. Although the School closed in 1909, the building functions today as Hawkshead Grammar School Museum and is open to the public.
Notable former pupils included William Wordsworth.
Murphys Grammar School is California’s oldest school building in continuous use as a school. Built in 1860 for $4000, it has two rooms. The entire building is 40'x60' which means it cost about $1.50/sf to build back then.
Dr Albert Michelson attended this school and later won America’s first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907 for his work in determining the velocity of light, which later aided Einstein’s development of his relativity theories.
5.5cms across cap. Note the spore print on the cap (white) Free gills. Hygrocybe fornicata.

It’s not your average classroom!! The school is in an old hacienda, so the rooms and the grounds have lots of character. (And with us, lots of characters.)
Metroline VW1828, BK10MFJ, on route 207 to Shepherd's Bush at Twyford Avenue in Ealing Common.
The days of seeing an apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush are over as powers up high in TfL have decreed that Shepherd's Bush is no more, and now will only ever will be Shepherds Bush without the apostrophe. This is despite the area originally belonging many years ago to a person called Mr Sheppard which, over the centuries, evolved into Mr Shepherd. However despite all this, both underground stations in the area will continue to maintain the apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush as is grammatically correct.
Anyone for consistency?
Little Carrie needs some more old fashionated grammar lessons, to be able,
to read all these old english books.
(And 'mom' sometimes, to leave some proper english comments...:)
Possibly a Milkcap. 7cms across cap. Stipe 7cms.

I found False Chantrelle a couple of minutes later and it is the same colour. So you really cannot use colour as a firm ID only as a aid.
An alternative look at the Former Grammar School, Daventry, which will be demolished to make way for the unwanted cinema.
