Smells sort of mealy

What comment in the Daily Telegraph??
ETA: Found it using Google. Oddly enough, those are quotes I gave to a journalist on my local rag, The Argus. I have no idea how they found their way to the Telegraph, but I'm not complaining.
And the Daily Mail...

Russula, probably ochroleuca. And yes, bay bolete. I found a lovely one today. Only one though. And some penny buns.
Like Geoff, I'm becoming a celebrity now, everyone in our house knows who I am now, took a while, a long while.
Found a few Orange Birch Boletes this afternoon, first of the season, and a few oyster mushrooms at the weekend, but not sure about this one which I found today in grass by oak and birch.
From the brown cap and the swollen stem I could feel while in situ I thought it was a cep and couldn't see the colouring properly till I picked it. Think it may be a Summer Boletus but not sure ?
Cheers, Paul

Looks like a Boletus appendiculatus, but I'm not 100% certain. It's not a species I see very often.
Found my first hedgehogs of the season today, plus five other edible species. Still a bit patchy though.

Think you're probably right Geoff, wasn't in the first couple of books I looked at but found it on Roger's site. Could also be boletus impolitus http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~5624~gid~~source~gallerydefault.asp but I'm not getting any iodine smell from the cut stem so tend to agree with your diagnosis and into the mushroom dryer with the rest of the day's finds it goes

I would agree with Geoff. I see B.Appendiculatus most years. I have found they tend to ocurr earlier in the year. Nothing ocurring here at the moment, though you finding these in Hants gives some hope.

Yep, reckon so Garry, had a little bit of blue/green colouration setting in on the pores when cut up for the dryer, now safely bagged up with the Orange Birch Boletes for pasta sauces and casseroles
Good to find a few mushrooms at least, hopefully a little bit of rain early next week will help things along nicely....

The weather forecast looks good for mushrooms from the middle of next week onwards. The temperature is going to nosedive and the south of the UK is going to be deluged on Sunday, apparently. That's all they need - everything is primed to go...
Not my fault they got the science wrong on the voiceover!
The reason most wild mushrooms that can't be farmed can't be farmed is that they are symbiotic, not parasitic. But I guess that was a bit too complicated for them.

The season's ramping up! Found a HUGE Chicken and a lot of Clitocybe nebularis, about 50 pickable Cramp balls, handful of lovely Chants, and a few blackening brittlegills.
I found this growing on it's lonesome the other week in deciduous woodland, when I saw it from a distance I thought Craterellus tubaeformis (Trumpet Chanterelle) Which I'm dying to find along with Craterellus cornucopioides (The Trumpet of Death)
initial thoughts are Clitocybe sp?

From that picture, I'd say you've found an even more elusive relative of those two. I think that might just be Pseudocraterellus undulatus/sinuosus.
Shame there was only one, and I have to sort of tick you off for picking it. I have only seen this species once. However, there was more than one: http://www.wibberley.org/fungiforaging/pseudocraterellus.htm

Oh No!
I'm usually very good at not picking something I'm not sure on. You do right ticking me off!In the woodland (used alot for coppice craft workshops) we also found (wasn't actively hunting, was workshopping) a single hedgehog (H. repandum) - and it was very early September, hardly anything else was out - so hopefully there are more now and I've not buggered it's chances of spreading
Thanks for the ID - It's obviously the first time I've seen it, and when I see it again I'll get some quality pictures and records for MushroomObserver.
I keep finding fairly rare stuff - The C. nebularis isn't that common (but I know 4 rings over 2m in diameter, over 30 specimens in each and only picked enough for a few portions) And the other week I found what could be a very rare Psilocybe liniformans variety - currently getting some microscopy and DNA sequencing done on it.
Have you any news on which monday you'll be on the box?

It's more of a summer than autumn species, so it may have finished for the year.
I found loads of hedgehogs today, in just one place. And a rare Boletus parasiticus that I've never seen before.
It's common as muck in Sussex. All over the place.
Last monday. It's on 4oD.
There may be a chance I can revisit over the next week, will update if I can get over there.
I know of place where last year I picked over 200 H. rufescens, with many 100's more perfectly edible ones and loads of deer nibbled ones - but it's 35 miles away and I don't drive! :'( The same goes for 100's of huge chants.
That's good to know, 'cause it's very good to eat IMO. Phillips' Mushrooms (2006 edition) has it as "Very Rare in Britain" - obviously not!
Excellent, will give it a watch soon.
No, and no. It's the white variant that is very rare in Britain (I have made the same mistake reading that page that you did, it is easy to do), and it smells/tastes mildly of vomit.
