Geocache Description:


This cache is near a busy road and roundabout so take care not to be spotted by muggles!  You are near the old road to Hazelhead Park, this road is no longer in use. Hazelhead is in the west of Aberdeen. The cache has a few treasure for swaps so please feel free to take something in return for leaving something. Here is some information about the fungus you will encounter - Fomes fomentarius (commonly known as the tinder fungusfalse tinder fungushoof fungustinder conktinder polypore or ice man fungus) is a species of fungal plant pathogenfound in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The species produces very large polypore fruit bodies which are shaped like a horse's hoof and vary in colour from a silvery grey to almost black, though they are normally brown. It grows on the side of various species of tree, which it infects through broken bark, causing rot. The species typically continues to live on trees long after they have died, changing from a parasite to a decomposer.
