Mushroom foraging

Cut it open, should be completely hollow from top to bottom.

Sulfur Tuft?

Something on people picking mushrooms illegally in Epping Forest:

Kinda looks like a morel, but the stem looks too long. Any ideas?

As on the previous page Phallus impudicus

Definitely a stinkhorn.

Ah cheers, shouldn’t have skimmed the thread so flippantly before posting!

I found what looks like a fairy ring near my house earlier but no camera to confirm I'd. I'll revisit tomorrow.

Look with your nose!

F.R.C.

Some interesting finds locally of late

Yeah, it is tasty but this one is one the road across from my house so not going to bother due to car fumes. Last few years someone has knocked it off so glad to get a photo before that.

not going to bother due to car fumes.

That hadn't occurred to me, but apparently accumulation of some pollutants can occur in fungus.

Can anybody ID this please? The field where I walk our dogs is teeming with them, which surprised me a bit because it regularly has cattle grazing on it.

Also an abundance of these. Any ideas?

Nothing edible, I don't think!

I reckon some sort of wax cap or possible milk cap but yeah don't eat them haha.

Thanks - no intention of eating anything unless I’m 100% sure.

I ought to get a book really.

I’d be cautious even with a book. Best way to learn is to go foraging with someone who knows what’s what.

So do I put these bad boys in an Omelette or make tea with them?

Recent find, apparently edible for some but not all.

We've just invested in a few books but now we're too scared to try anything because everything looks so similar. Fun tho!
