Also found quite a few poisonous varieties, including some beautiful A.Muscaria, including one that was just bursting out of its volva, and (with a shudder) an A. Phalloides - this one the real thing, definitely not A. Citrina.
Anyone going out next weekend should steer well clear of these babies, which are in abundance at the moment:
Paxillus involutus, the brown roll-rim (yes, the rim of the cap rolls over underneath). They used to be regarded as edible but then they killed a mycologist who had eaten a few too many, and they are now regarded as poisonous. They look like they should be edible - but they're not.
