Poached egg fungus - definitely worth an eat.
I tried some larch bolete last week - bland and watery
Trying scarletina bolete this week (just got to go up and get some).
Bountiful parasols this year along with massive penny buns!
Have dried (last year) and used jew's ear fungus good for soups and stews but needs a long soak. Use it in chicken and sweetcorn soup.
This subject needs a complete section of its own! What do you think MODS?

these are growing on an old wood chip pile

Psathyrella conopilus
This species is commonly found on cut stumps and wood chip piles.

I love these very little clusters of mushrooms..

Mycena haematopus, the blood-foot mushroom, they exude a reddish purple liquid when cut.

Nice thread. These are lousy iPhone pics I'm afraid, but the mushrooms are noteworthy for their size. My chainsaw boots are size 10, and pretty big. It's been an amazing year for Fly Agaric, I came across a clearing on the common the other day that was carpeted with them. Alas no camera.

Not great photography(only had my phone) but interesting I think its a red stalked boletus. I cut it half before photographing though.

Took a trip to Westonbirt Arboretum at the weekend, saw lots!

These were cool, looked like bubbles! Some were hollow with a hole in, like something had burrowed in and eaten the fingi from the inside.

Podoscypha multizonata. Rare, protected and the first time ever found it in 23 years looking for fungi.

 

[Acorn62]

Wow, that's some specimen. I've never seen one and until now never heard of it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You may want to send it on to John Wright (mushroom bloke off the telly) he has previously asked for any rare fungi to be forwarded on to him as he is very interested. his contact now: http://www.wild-food.net/contact-us.php

Found these today, the caps are no bigger than 5mm diameter

 

[Acorn62]

Bonnet Mycena?
Too early for the winter variety though.

 

[Rumi]

[Rumi]

The weird and wonderful

Any ideas anyone?

Look like a type of Psilocybe?

[Geoff Dann]

I think that might actually be Fomes fomentarius (Hoof Fungus).

 

[Andy B]

I thought that intiially. However the brown spores and the v white, writable, underside pointed me to Gandoderma adspersum. It does look like the hoof fungus I agree. I think it is just an enviromental thing the way it is shaped and growing under a log. Could be wrong though do you have any good indicators I could check it with to confirm?

Cheers,

Andy

Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)

Common Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)
