I remember regularly eating beechmast as a child. An enormous beech tree stood on the green in front of the flats where I lived, and the little nuggets of tasty beech nut were gathered by all the kids who played there. On a recent re-visit to my childhood home town, I noticed that the tree was no longer there.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen porcelain fungi, it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing these photographs. And your description is exquisite.
Thank you. Having some feedback is inspiring me to get a regular publication set up. But the more I look at it, the more complicated it seems. How did you find the process?
True, it takes a little time. If you have any specific questions, you’re welcome to fire them my way. I’m obviously no guru but after nine months doing both my own and OWPG Substacks I’ve sussed a few things.
My latest discovery, for example, is custom buttons which can be a quick way to do various things—including ‘buy me a coffee’. It’s too soon to say what the response might be though.
Other things include the ability to import posts from an existing blog—mine came across intact, including web links and images, so just needed to add Substack buttons. And if you have an existing email list with MailChimp, MailerLite, etc., can import that too.
Thanks Jon. I almost came running to you this afternoon, but I thought I’d better put some effort into figuring things out myself first! However, if you’re free sometime for a chat about some of the steps you’ve gone through in setting things up I’d be grateful. I’ve read quite a lot of the help pages, but it’s a different thing when you come to try and actually do it.

You learn as you go along. I’d say, ‘Just go for it!’

Felicity, the creamy opaque consistency here on the mushrooms are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.
