Lots starting to emerge here too. Agaricus, chanterelle, russula, parasol, ceps (including two pine ceps). Garry

Have you tasted a blusher, I think they are a very tasty mushroom. I guess taste is subjective!

They look similar to bitter boletes but I would expect to see pink tubes in the older specimens. To check, you can taste a small amount, chew and spit out. If very bitter then it will be the bitter bolete. If not then it could be a Summer Cep. Garry

Most of the A.Bitorquis I have found have been in and around woods, not from pavements. However, I agree with Geoff that this is more likely to be A.Campestris or something else from that genus. A.Bitorquis has a has a double ring on the stem which is not evident in the pictures. Garry

Not seen any of those, but saw some amanitas today and there have been chanterelles coming up for about two weeks (but still very small).

I once found some on a fallen birch, which though not unknown, is quite rare.

I've eaten wood blewits that I found when frozen solid many times without any problems. I've also picked velvet shanks frozen solid and dug through the snow to pick both st Georges and winter chanterelles also eaten without any problems. Yesterday there were loads of winter chanterelles but I...

They look like wood blewits to me.

It's a fishing creel. i bought it from a fishing tackle shop in France.

I found these a few years ago which were identified (by others on the foray) as galerina marginata. If anyone disagrees with the ID, let me know and I'll delete. Garry

Still loads of winter chanterelles this morning along with a few chanterelles, hedgehogs, and wood blewits. Agreed it is very wet!

Pooring with rain this morning but still plenty of shrooms to find.

Finally found first winter chanterelles of the year today, along with some hedgehogs and wood blewits.

I took the dog out earlier hoping to find my lunch and found wood blewits, amathyst deceivers and agaricus silvaticus, so some still about. I am normally collecting loads of winter chanterelles at this time of year, but there hasn't been a single one in my regular places this year!

Agree with 1 & 3. Can't be sure on 2 without seeing more (gills etc) Garry
