Mushroom foraging

definately not. they grow in big clumps while these 2 were out on their own as a pair. honey fungus much more yellowy.

Very reluctant to ID from an online photo with the prospect of you eating them. But with that proviso, they do look like parasols to me. Plenty of good online guides out there. Do your research well 😉

totally don't mind but, I think I was referring to the others, in the image above among the grass - sure I'm still wrong but having a guess - you know that land better

oh sorry, had completely forgotten i had posted that, was all excited about todays finds !

So you ate the two on the os map yeah ?

that would explain my confusion !

Any idea what these are? I initially thought puffball but there was a sort or.stem below so I thought perhaps young parasol?

Found a load of stump puffballs today plus a few parasols. Any recipe idea on best way to eat the stump fellas?

Found a lovely fly agaric right in the middle of the path on a run earlier, no photo but always nice to see.

Look more like earth stars tbh - what do they look like inside? If hollow centre full of black spores then most likely earth star

Don't ingest those under any circumstances, they're really very poisonous, and naughty, and things.

Tell me, Chief Constable, how do we bring this terrible person to book?

Fucked if I care, just done shrooms.

Meanwhile, on the field behind chez Bald, it's parasol season.

Are these magic mushrooms?

Sadly not, see above and compare!

i don't think they're liberty caps. growing in the wrong place and a bit too dense, stems a bit too white and thick

Thanks, I have no eye for these things

Resist any urge to cook wild mushroom soup from your foraging walks!

Good afternoon foraging yesterday. Black trumpets, winter chanterelles and hedgehog mushrooms. All delicious.

We had parasol pasta last night. Our annual months of shaggy parasol meals with the fairy ring champignion have begun.

Though I'd found Blewits but on spore checking they were Cortinariius (bottom left in picture)

Oooof! Close call there. Well done for doing the checks. Cortinarius is what the old horse whisperer guy got poisoned by IIRC.

Morning walk with snoop, its good to see what's out

Plenty of sickeners too. Came across some funnel mushrooms - any idea if these are fools funnel, clouded or trooping?
