Mushroom foraging

Think I found a mahooosive cep but it had a greenish brown gills, not white like my books had ... but the same colour like the ones you get dried in shops. It was old and a bit mangled though. The stem must have been thicker than my wrist though.

Ceps have tubes rather than gills, sort of looks like a sponge underneath the cap, usually pale yellow or ochre colour. They bruise greeny blue in some varieties of boletus.

You and Balki are welcome to join this Saturday morning if we get a bit of rain tomorrow and Friday: I'm hoping to venture out to Hampshire again. It's an hour out of London on the train, though. I'm sure there must be closer foraging, but it's the best I've found.
