Now retired from a life-long career as an electrical projects engineer, I've been able to spend much more time in pursuit of my hobbies. Photography has been a passion since my teens, and whether I'm out fell-walking, looking for fungi, or whatever, taking photos always adds an extra dimension to the activity. – If something catches my eye, I'll generally be found pointing my camera at it!

My interest in fungi developed as a result of pure chance. The finding of an unknown purple mushroom led me on a quest for identification, and the purchase of my first "mushrooms and toadstools" field guide.
One thing led to another, and before I knew what had happened, I found myself with all the paraphernalia required for microscopy, and a veritable library of mycology text books to go with it! – That first purple mushroom, which, for the record, turned out to be Amethyst Deceiver - ( Laccaria amethystina ), has a lot to answer for!
