No fungi hunt through muddy woods this week. A warm and dry hunt this week instead – through the archives. I was looking for a collection I hadn’t yet posted. I found Tyrrell’s Wood, 8th October 2019. Truth, I had posted a couple of these but the rest will be new to you. Enjoy

🔼Puffball. A big one. Not sure it’s a Giant Puffball. Probably a Meadow or Grey Puffball 🔽 Whatever these are, they’re pretty

🔽 Looks like it should be a fibre cap, but which one? Don’t know. And it’s no longer fresh.

🔼 Oops, slipping down that rabbit hole trying to identify these. But the solitary is probably a Brittlestem 🔽 Tufts, or Roundheads. Or something entirely different

🔽 A Parasol, possibly the Shaggy

Hope you enjoyed
I hope to have more for you next week. Forecast is wet, wet and more wet. I hope we can get out. If not, I’ll plunder the archives again

These are all amazing. Are any of these edible?

If I know they’re poisonous I say so. But I wouldn’t recommend you try any wild fungi without an expert to help you. I am far from expert.

Very true Crispina. I know here villagers know which ones are good to eat and which aren’t. In cities we hardly see any mushrooms growing.

I used to gather mushrooms with my grandma, but no, I wouldn’t trust myself

The “probably a parachute” ones are my favourite! They look like they are slowly floating down!

And one that’s edible. Though they have to be gathered very fresh as they attract a collection of I edible creepy crawlies

I haven’t seen the scarlet elfcups yet. They don’t usually put in an appearance around here until February, despite they’re flashing their little red cups elsewhere
