TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi Getting a few field shrooms in the horse field in a morning and a few shaggy parasols in the wood but a bit earlier than usual, good place to start is the cow fields and horse pastures,had some really early on in the year then nothing till last week.just keep checking so u don't miss em, I'm going in the morning when I've fed round, Atb 223 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyH 52 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Had a couple of giant puffballs so far, and eyed up a few different varieties in the woods that I'll have when it stays dry for a few days in a row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi terry Turned a few field mushrooms over today but they were to far gone they were in horse pastures .also a few small ones about so I expect it won't be long,this time last year it was covered in them and stayed that way for ages, Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nashy1983 2 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Everyone seems to say field mushrooms are easy to identify. What should I be looking for? Are there any dodgy ones that look similar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi These mate . I picked the ones in the pic below the other month they were early and I left them a day to long but they were beautiful Get a good book and have a go at the easy ones I've been experimenting a few years with variouse shrooms and I'm still alive lol, Atb 223 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
