Amanita muscaria.

[Shambling Shaman]

chantarels.

That would be my guess,

And i have a copy of your book so im ok

 

[stovie]

It has to have been A. Muscaria...been as common as flies this year, but as it has already been mentioned (twice now) I'll go for A. pantherina

The question you all need to answer is "What kind of fungus has been most noticably prolific in my little patch of woodland this autumn??"

Hmmmm...

You're in those woods a lot John, so it your moustache and beard... Your face fungus?

No John, it was Omar Kyam that was into big tents, sand and writing.

I'll have a go at the parasol (Macrolepiota Procera) mushroom, I have a copy of your book (and very good too)...

 

[John Fenna]

No John, it was Omar Kyam that was into big tents, sand and writing.

Ah - "The Ruder Parts of Old Ma Kyam"
Had a bit about moving fingers as I recall.......

 

[Calurix]

No Idea about fungus so my guess is Agaricus silvaticus (Blushing Wood Mushroom ).

[DMadden]

Well im going to have a crack, and say The Sickener, Russula emetica

Dan.

 

[dorkingbushcraft]

im going with craterellus cornucopioides (horn of plenty)

 

[John Fenna]

I am stunned!
I have reached my 7000 posts and no-one has guessed the fungi!
I will give you a little more time as some folk have yet to have a go...I will also allow people a second guess!
Good luck!
