    Steve its mainly woodland mushrooms that grow in the leaf litter like the "Hedgehog mushrooms" and "Chanterelles" that need a brush off. Cheers Arry

    If I can't find something it because she's put it some where and she doesn't know where she put it. Once doing the light in the kitchen, went to reach for the screwdriver I was using, gone. I haven't seen it she says, had to get another from my tool box to Finnish the job. Later found it in the cutlery drawer, you must have put it there she said. I was up a fxcking step ladder FFS. Lol.

    Its for brushing off loose grit and dirt the mushrooms before you put them in you basket. Steve, save washing them as some get soggy if washed. It's like any hobby more you get into it the more gadgets and kit you want. Used to use an ordinary Opinel and take a little paint brush. Cheers Arry

    My apple tree was loaded last year, this year it had one and that fell off when it was still little,Lol. I had a lot of Bullfinches in think they might have had the blossom buds. Was a very dry summer as well. Keep an eye out for other stuff in a 100 year old orchard should be some thing there. Had a few "Field mushrooms" a "Horse mushroom" and a hand full of "Chanterelles" today, so its not over yet. Alb. Cheers Arry

    Mate I honestly don't know. I don't eat any of the little white ones with white gills as some are very deadly. If I had to guess it looks like one of the "fibre cap" types which I think are all poisonous, If it was me I would leave. Make sure you explain to any kids not to touch. Sorry I'm not much help. I just stick to the ones I know leave the rest and try and learn a new one or two each year.

    Well Ross the second one down is the "Shaggy Ink Cap" edible Green Lurcher is all way cooking them up mate. Third one down no sure, to many little brown ones, I'd leave it. I think the third and forth ones are both "Birch Polypore" growing on a Birch tree, they are edible but bitter, have lots of good properties. Worth looking up on google its anti cancer, anti septic and all sorts of other things. you know that Stone Age man found in the Alps ( Otiz ) well he had some "Birch Polypore" on him. Not sure on the last one mate, if not sure leave it. Sorry wish I could have helped more. Atb.

    Try some of the easy ones mate. Have a look at this site. Try Ceps, Hedgehogs mushrooms, Giant Puff balls, Oyster mushrooms and Chanterelles. I try to learn one or two each year. Atb. https://www.wildfooduk.com/articles/wild-mushrooms-for-beginners/ Cheers Arry

    The first one I think is "Sulphur Turf" its NOT edible and can cause serious gastrointestinal symptoms. The second may be "Brick Cap" which I have not tried. But if it is and I'm NOT SURE they can be eaten and are supposed to be quite good. Put those names into google and click images. have a look only if you are 100% then try one. Sorry can't help more. Cheers Arry Looking again I think they are all "Sulphur Turf" DO NOT EAT.

    The "Hedgehog mushrooms" starting, this is a good one and safe, well worth keeping an eye out for. These were growing in under Beech and Oak trees in the leaf litter we also find them in Fir tree woods. Easy to identify as they have spikes on the underside of the cap instead of gills. They hold there texture when cooked as well. Did post some last season, but just in case any body is interested. You can see the spikes and how easy they just brush off, which I do before cooking. Usually this creamy buff colour on top or a light terracotta. Cheers Arry

    No mate had books for years before I would eat any thing a bit different from the norm. But Fred90 is right more people poisoned by the "Yellow Stainer" than any thing else, I think I'm right in saying. Cheers Arry

    Recon its a "Field mushroom" but is a little shaggy on top of the cap, theres one called the "Prince" which it looks a bit like and is well sort after have a look at this site. Cut the stem near the bottom if it goes bright chrome yellow DON'T EAT IT, it would be "The Yellow Stainer" the main one people get muddled up with "Field Mushrooms". GL posted a picture of a "Yellow Stainer" in the thread First Mushroom about a mouth or so ago. Put it on a piece of paper the spores should be dark brown for a field mushroom. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/ Cheers Arry

    Best bait by a country mile is Sprat fillet imo, stitched in and out up the trace then two fingers above the fillet on the trace and pulled down into a ball. In Alderney the locals use pork cubes and a rubby dubby of pork mashed up in water. Cheers Arry
