I don't have any parsnips, but I think I should be able to find a usable leek to add to the carrot soup I'm intending to make later.<br />You are good to actually achieve some tasks when you visit the plot.

Do they have grey-blue pores underneath? Of course they might well be Turkey Tails too (Trametes versicolor). The huge swathe of little ones in the bed could well be Tubaria furfuracea, but again I would want to see the gills and stipes before hazarding a guess. Tubaria species are very fond of woodchip, so the Scurfy Twiglet is a good call.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
