Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AuguilleAlpinistes\"<\/a> \"MontBlancfromAiguille\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alpinistes (L) and Mont Blanc (R) viewed from a quick trip up to the Aiguille du Midi.<\/p>\n

\"AuguilleIce\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather wasn’t great and freezing rain \/ ice had stuck to outside of the station.<\/p>\n

(Too cloudy for photographs from a trip up the Flag\u00e8re cable car and the L’Index t\u00e9l\u00e9si\u00e8ge!)<\/p>\n

\"ChurchExterior\"<\/a> \"ChurchInterior\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chapel at Les Praz [45.94054 N 6.88728 E].<\/p>\n

\"OrangePeelFungus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The distinctive and aptly named Orange Peel fungus, Aleuria aurantia<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pufball\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An undistinguished puffball<\/a> – curiously called in French une vesse-de-loup (“wolf’s fart”!).<\/p>\n

\"DarkHoofFungus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably Fomitopsis pinicola<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"UnidentifiedShelf\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unidentified – perhaps a Soft Slipper fungus, Crepidotus mollis<\/em><\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"UnidentifiedFungus\"<\/a> \"UnidentifiedFungusUnderside\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unidentified.<\/p>\n

\"FrenchPortaloo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A classy French portaloo!<\/p>\n

\"FungusHaul\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final fungus haul; a lovely cep<\/a> (top left), some kind of milk cap<\/a> (top right), some not-so-interesting bolete<\/a> (bottom left) and uncertain (bottom right).\u00a0 Pleasingly it turned out to be true that French pharmacists were trained in identifying edible fungi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
