That's such a wonderful photo.If she’s anything like mine she’ll spit the mushroom and expect something nicer. And has a knack of getting itView attachment 90391
Today I saw some tiny (3cm tall) mushrooms which were pale lavender, a couple of tiny ones inside a hole in an oak which seemed to be glowing in the dark, and probably a beefstake mushroom on the same tree, about 20cm in diameter.
No idea what the other ones were, but they were cool to see.
And a fairy ring of mushrooms all around the same oak tree.
obviously some kind of boletus, the yellow instantly bruises a bluey green. Can anyone identify for me please, and is it edible? I fear its not.Found in short grass, under Oak hazel and beech.
Starting to spot a few coming up now.
Blusher
Fly Agaric
Some kind of Roll-Rim
And a sorry looking Cep

Possibly an inkstain bolete (though not quite as vivid blue as I’d expect), or bitter beech bolete?
Nowhere near confident enough with that to give a firm answer, sorry!

Loads of Fly Agaric about today. Also picked up some more Bay Bolete and a few sizeable Brown Birch Boletes for drying and powdering.
Thought for a moment I found a huge patch of chanterelles, but chopping one in half revealed them to be False Chanterelles. Sad.
Good few other mushrooms too.

Got a beautiful spore print from this one.Not sure on this one, but some type of oyster mushroom I presume. Growing in marshland, probably on willow but not certain.
Brought one back for a spore print to help identify it.
I’ve not spotted any in these woods yet, keeping an eye out though. Would definitely prefer them to the Brown ones.
Cor, that’s superb!Got a beautiful spore print from this one.
Parasols are out in the park.
Picked up a copy of this last week for the coming season. Great book.
Definitely; Geoff used to contribute on this forum a few years ago.
I've also got his Edible Plants book; another good addition to any foraging library.
