Shaggy ink caps are gorgous, i think they are the nicest mushroom to eat, very milky...

[m.hubbard 1]

Interesting post... nice one..

 

I play safe and buy from the stops..

[m.hubbard 1]

nice one thanks for clearing them 2 up for me i tend to take pics of the ones i'm not sure of . and log them in to folders on laptop as edible and non edible

 

 

iv found a few of the magic kind .

 

im quite lucky as iv got like four or five big lakes with wood round and two big common grounds for the magic mushrooms .

 

 

running wild the reason i pick the mushrooms is the same reason i make my own hedge veg wines . have an allotment and raise my own birds ,plus shoot my own game.

is it all ways tastes better and u know ware its come from .plus its nearly all free :-) oh yes im a tight arse.lol

Great Thread. I have noticed lots of fungi around at the moment too. M Hubbard, which book did you find most helpful in identifying fungi. I have a couple but i am always looking to expand my collection.

Cheers
