La Lunatica:

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. I notice that no action has been taken by the owner to correct the issue. Could the owner please check this cache and give an indication of when it may be sorted out. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling the cache.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.) or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem.

You are permitted a reasonable amount of time - generally, up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

If you no longer wish to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I do not receive it. Posting a reviewer note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived. Here is the link to the relevant part of the guidelines Ownership after publication.

Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Fungi series which follows footpaths and the canal towpath between Mowsley and Husbands Bosworth.

Parking is available in the layby at cache 1. Orange Peel Fungus.
The loop is approximately 5 miles long and is best attempted in a clockwise direction.
The caches are a variety of types and sizes; many of the containers are home made from recycled objects. You will need tweezers for some of them and BYOP.
At the time of placing, in November, the footpaths although mostly firm were at times very muddy around farm gates. There were no livestock in any of the fields but I did see plenty of fungi.
 

Fungi

There are roughly 15,000 types of wild fungi in the UK. Never rely on one source for mushroom identification, and never eat anything unless you are 100% sure it is edible. A fungus is a simple organism, or living thing, that is neither a plant nor an animal. Some familiar fungi are mushrooms, molds, mildews, truffles, and yeasts. The word fungus (plural, fungi) is Latin for mushroom, and indeed, mushrooms are among the most commonly known fungi.

Witches' Butter

This orange-yellow fungus can grow up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) diameter and has a convoluted surface that is greasy or slimy when damp. It grows in crevices in bark, appearing during rainy weather. Within a few days after rain it dries into a thin film or shriveled mass capable of reviving after subsequent rain.
