The Ultimate "What is this Fungi?" thread.

I was just kidding - but that does look like a great spot you've found there - bet you'll be keeping that to yourself. Very nice find, good on you.

I was with foraging customers when this spot was discovered 2 years ago. Group of 6 - wasn't me who spotted them. Nothing there last year. Looks like nobody has been back there this year...

Some of today's finds:

Yeah looks like the blewits are arriving. Saw my first one of the year today also. And first Clouded Funnel.

The first one appeared to be growing from the trunk. Not the ground...

Common Inkcaps and yes they aren't bad, provided you are teetotal. DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL.

That is one of the edible agaricus species. Probably The Prince.

Thank you very much Geoff :You_Rock_

Wish you lived near me, I'd follow you around like a lost dog.

I am unaware of anything that colour that grows on wood, and it looks like the trunk is lying on the ground. I think the trunk just happened to be in the way of the emerging mushrooms.

Found these under a beech, very tough little buggers. Not flimsy. Anyone know what they? Cheers in advance.

I also find loads of these, quite often. They look tasty? Will they kill me? They always seem in very good condition.

Looks like one of the honey fungi (armillaria).

Looks like one of the honey fungi (armillaria) (both posts). They are edible but benefit from serious cooking.

Found this fantastic specimen out and about today, whilst I await delivery of my mushroom book (Rogers) can anyone Id it for me?

Thank you Geoff. Really appreciate your knowledge. Motivates me to look them up for further knowledge.

That'll be more honey fungus. Lots of it about at the moment. Good edible. Boil the caps for 4 minutes, discard the water and then fry the hell out of them in olive oil for ten minutes and serve crispy.
