Hi to all you shroomy experts,
On a camp this weekend near Prague I came across a number of mushrooms and toadstools which I thought you could help me identify. I know next to nothing but I'm hoping to learn, I've have ordered some books and am borrowing a small guide from a friend.
One thing I can say is that mushrooms are so easy to find at night, under torchlight they stand out like beacons, probably old news to many but it got me excited
Anyway onto the mushrooms....
1. this was a big one about 20-25cm tall
2. Very phallic looking but no idea
3. Death caps? I know that nasty ones in general have white gills, a skirty thing and a ball that they come out of at the base, these also have a greenish browny colour which death caps are mean to be. They were also in oak litter which is meant to be their habitat.
4. Another death cap?
5. Death cap again?
6. No idea!
7. Again not sure
I'm assuming all of them are poisonous (goes without saying for the death cap) as we'd seen many people picking shrooms and these were left.
Many thanks to anyone who looks in and can help
