MUSHROOMS FIND AN UNLIKELY HOME IN BRIGG

Recently we brought you the story of the tomato plant living on an  A18 traffic island - just feet from thousands of vehicles passing by on very busy Barnard Avenue.
By way of a follow-up to our earlier well-bred piece, mushrooms have sprung up on a grassy area in the main Old Courts Road car park. They are very close to one of the ticket machines.
We are unsure whether these are of the edible variety, but  they don't look very appetising. As is always the case with fungi, don't put them in the pan, or toss them in a salad, unless you are 100 per cent certain it's safe to do so. For many species are poisonous.
We will  take a picture on our next visit to Old Courts Road and share it with you at a later date.
