So I decided last weekend that I was going to make our usual bimble in the woods a bit more focused, and see if I could find out how much of the 'background noise' has been sinking in with my 7 year old son...
Pics first...

I have never done the pic thing before, so we'll see if they work...
Anyhoo, my hyper whirlwind of a 7yr old, was so focused I was amazed. He managed to Identify for me, amongst other things:
No less than 10 edible plants,
3 poisonous ones,
3 trees,
2 fungi,
We 'stalked' a family of deer,
and he spontaniously informed me that one of the dead trees had been killed by honey fungus
Turns out I'm not talking to myself after all!
