Whilst out this morning I saw what I thought from a distance, was one of those white fluffy looking lycoperdons growing about 7ft up a dead birch.
On closer inspection and general prodding about with my knife it wasn't what I thought.
This had a thin white waxy film over a brown shiney cap, the inside looked exactly like an 8oz solid lump of pure cocoa powder. It also had the same texture as cocoa and it certainly looked good enough to taste but I resisted.
Any ideas, I can't find a match in any of my books.
Measured approx 4 x 4 x 6 inches.
