Only 5 plus our leader, Stuart Skeates (and please notice not much flesh showing) met up at Mutter's Moor for our last walk of the year. Some of us faced sleet on our windscreens on the way up. Yes very brave souls as it was below zero with the 40 mph Artic wind- chill factor.

We only managed 50 minutes out in it before we all needed a hot drink. But we found several different types of fungi; waxcaps, mycena, entoloma and Stuart showed us split porecrust (Xylodon paradoxus) which looked nothing until we looked at it under a lens.

Although we were battling against the elements we still enjoyed our last meeting of the year.
