Mushroom foraging

Got a bit excited on a walk this afternoon. Can I eat any of these and live?

Middle darker ones look like brown roll rims which are a hard pass: https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/brown-roll-rim/

It looks like you may have some Clouded agaric there but again recent research suggests they have toxins which can build up over time leading to organ failure later so I'd skip them. Lots of countries have moved them to the no list e.g. Italy.

You may or may not have some Trooping Funnel but you'd need to be confident of your own ID. I wouldn't eat anything I wasn't sure of myself. Mushroom ID from that photo is impossible.

(Need photos of one specimen from various angles for each ID - cap, stem, gills, base, split down the middle, some things need a spore print to ID with any certainty. Also need to know near trees and whether picked in woods/grass).

Thanks Caz. We thought some are Trooping Funnel. Not sure I'll risk it though.

Found these bird's nest fungi growing on some old wood down at the allotment. So cool!

Wow those are amazing!

Wild!

That’s Meripilus

And @dbr yeah really strange and cool. I didn't even know they were a thing until recently and then stumbled over them. They are only about 5mm or so across, took the photo using the macro function on phone camera so scale might be hard to tell.
Common Bird's Nest (Crucibulum leave) I think.

That's wonderful. I had no idea these existed.

Three foraged species and one home grown on the table - Field mushrooms, Wood Blewits and Porcini as well as some cultivated pink oysters

#fungioftheworldweekend is trending on Twitter at the moment. Some stunning pictures on there. Well worth a look.

Any idea what these are. Spotted on a walk today

Top ones look like clustered dome caps. We found some with the help of a forager guy on Sunday. Ate them and didn’t die.

Stag's horn (Candlesnuff) growing well

Can anyone here ID these yellowy ones?

Fairly sure that's poisonous Sulphur tuft: https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/sulphur-tuft/

It's one I was thinking but is clustered different to when found in the woods. This is in garden. Not seen the web under the gills before either.

No interest in eating any mushrooms so low risk here, fun id'ing them still though.

very nice. how did they taste ??

The link I posted shows the remnants of gill webbing in some of the shots, that's what made me think it's sulfur tuft but I'm not a mycologist.

Yeah good. Ate as part of a foraged quiche (mushrooms & three corner leeks) so hard to pick out individually.

My fungi foraging friend id'd these as Hares foot inkcaps, found in one of my planters I'd composted & left for winter.

Found some jelly ears

@cozey - I read a very interesting article on that subject a couple of months ago. Not sure where I found the link though.

I've heard its good for your focus/attention, mood, and general creativity. laura marling was doing it to aid her masters apparently. proponents say it helps you be in the moment more. just wondered if anyone in the community had had any experience with it (including insights on dosing, sourcing, potential pitfalls etc.)

Not a personal endorsement.
