It is now being brewed using Trent or Nene or perhaps Liffey water. It is still possible to get the Mexican import, though I don’t think we should (perhaps!).
In the customary way, LIDL Deutschland have produced their own Corona and called it Camaro (a fine Germanic name!) It’s nice though (available in Kirkwall)
A really nice photo, is all.
A Lawyer’s Wig … after a bad day in court.

Amazing unremarked Observation

3 Other Obs worthy of some input.
Not exactly a favourite but it was WELL worth the Lost Observation effort
Brought to life again after an ELEVEN year absence

Well worth a browse
This rodent has slipped through the likely net for want of sufficient tlc.
For me at least, the twist in the title here is perhaps more apt than even dejayM Derek realises. In music, the 3 arpeggio chord trick forms the melodic/harmonic backbone of many a catchy folk/rock/pop song. Because it works so effectively, this economic songwriting approach has been traditionally deployed over and over and over, and as such, there are ‘serious’ musicians who take a dim view, pointing a jaded finger at the lack of complexity and time-worn repetition, while stressing the importance of exploring new musical landscapes.
Well all that makes sense until along comes an artist with a tune that turns the hoary old 3 chord trick into a brilliant hat trick. Defying expectations, they make the everyday familiar feel fresh and exciting again. ‘Brimful Of Asha’ by Cornershop is one that springs to mind.
I get that same feeling from this post. As one of the commonest fungi hereabouts, I see X. hypoxylon all the time and as such, barely ever give it a second glance. This diverse, informative (links etc) and beautifully presented observation drew me right in nevertheless.
Thanks Amadan, glad you liked it - and agree with your comment.
I showed the pic to a friend in the Fungus Group. She agreed that it looked like an Easter Island ‘moai’, but quipped "an Easter Island moai as rendered by Pablo Picasso
One to make me envious (of both the species and the photos):

Can you fix Jan’s Reputation?
It has been on the list of bugs to deal with for some time, will remind the programmers again.

Promoted for very useful side b sides
Long lost fave of mine rediscovered because I look at some Other Observations when agreeing to one.
DO find time to look at, and agree to, a few Other Observations when you do your own.
Favourite long lost observation from 2012 without an identification or comment. https://www.ispotnature.org/communities/uk-and-ireland/view/observation/97251/wood-boring-worms
