Mushroom foraging

Found these on my anti-hangover walk today, and then stumbled across some nice guides in a Dorset charity shop!

Today was a good day. I've never found yellow leg chanterelles or black trumpets before.

Oysters and honey fungus galore up in north Wales this week. Bloomin’ delicious they are too!

I've never picked oysters, those look like ace ones!

They were absolutely lovely. Really good texture as well as flavour. Have jars of them pickling for winter now too. Recommended for picking!

I do love to pickle.. 😂

Look like parasols

Were indeed. Tasty tasty parasols.

What do I have here? Please and thank you.

Bottom ones look like parasols. Top ones could be shaggy ink caps but it’s hard to tell from the photo.

Top one is called a magpie inkcap I think. Nice!

Thanks you. X

Lots out today

;)

I like the spikey one

Found these in the garden recently.

Picked a load of these thinking/hoping that they were something else (😉), anyone on here got an id for what they are?

Edit: Found growing around trees.

Panaeolus foenisecii would be my educated but not definitive guess. Often found in the same habitat as other well-known species and very common and with the caveat that I wouldn’t eat anything based on the say so of some bloke on t’internet. These are not the fungi you were looking for.

These are not the fungi you were looking for.

Yeah sadly not.

Google suggests that Panaeolus foenisecii would be mostly found in grass.

Hypholoma marginatum (snakeskin brownie) has been suggested in a fb group I joined and would seem to fit but also inedible 🙁

Chuck 'em. Anything you can't ID 100% isn't worth the risk

Yeah absolutely.

Were they in woodland ? Snakeskin brownie is uncommon and usually on leaf litter with very distinctive patterning. 🕵️🤔

Yeah, I’m amongst pine needles and leaf litter. Thought I’d found something on Google that suggested this was where they’d be found.

There are in the bin now anyway!

👏🙏🙏

Found a big ring of trooping funnels yesterday. Tasted good but not a great texture, very tough and chewy. They were quite big ones so maybe smaller ones would be nicer to eat? I think they'd be good chopped up small in a dish though.

Had some very strange dreams last night which may or may not be linked to eating mushrooms found in the woods.
