I'm fond of this rock, as you will have gathered by now. It even has its own album!

I don't visit my mushroom rock every year as he/she/it is at the wrong end of the ridge from my last bus back to Madrid and I need to make a bee-line for it if I do come here, without stopping for photos at many other points of interest!

Another one of this rock, this time from the back of it, amongst the granite boulders and the holm oaks (encinas).

Up close and personal with Mushroom Rock

As mushrooms go, even rocky ones, it really is quite a size!

I have been so far behind that I didn't realise last Sunday's TSC was rocks, boulders, etc. Right up my street; not that I've ever joined in the fun but this one will do, albeit a week late!

I went off one of my more common paths here, looking for mushroom rock. I nearly gave up, when I spotted it. It is in this photo but can you see it?.

I was determined to find Mushroom Rock this time! I had just missed it on a few walks previously and I realised that I hadn't said hello to it for at least 5 years. Anyway mission accomplished, even if I had forgotten the amount of scrambling involved to get here!.

Chun Quoit (quoit = Cornish for dolmen). Although small, it is the best preserved quoit in Cornwall. All the others have dislodged capstones or some other disturbance. These are presumed to be burial chambers but no burial remains have ever been found. They were all originally buried under a mound of stones and earth but erosion in the harsh environment of West Penwith and the action of tomb robbers has meant that you can see the vestiges of the mound only at one quoit; here, at Chun. Estimated to be approx. 6,000 years old.
Sited in Morvah parish, West Penwith, Cornwall. Misspelt Quiot on Google maps!

The cutest quoit in Cornwall (there are a few equally cute dolmens in Brittany and elsewhere in Europe).
Neolithic burial chamber; would have originally been buried completely under a mound of smaller stones and earth but 6,000 years of Cornish weather has easily disposed of all that!

Grandpa Mushroom Rock.

Granite and oak (and Mushroom Rock)

Encinas (holm oaks) are endemic in central Spain and are are much revered. Here they help to break up the harshness of the granite on the ridge of La Sierra de La Cabrera! Mushroom rock in the background.

This is my mushroom rock!

Still mushroom in shape but not quite as mushroomy as seen from the other side and in some previous photos uploaded here.

I can't resist it! It is off the beaten track and I don't always find it but when I do it is like greeting an old friend!
