Dolmen, Pierre Folle, St. Priest la Feuille, Creuse, France.

Distant view of the mysterious dolmen.
The Dolmen, St.Priest la Feuille France,  is set in the magnificent Creuse countryside with Limousin cattle grazing nearby. The dolmen sends a strong shadow and the top stone rests on  only 3 stones. Probably a tomb, it stands on a hill with a standing stone nearby. The supporting standing stones may have moved over the many years and a front stone is broken. It is magnificent, particularly from a distance.

French edible mushroom.

This is an edible  mushroom picked in the woods of Limousin today. In French it is called a culmel (that spelling may not be correct)! It is as yet not open. I am told they taste good especially in an omelette. Could be the Scaly Tricholoma.
