Yea mate if there are not bitter then I reckon you have tree Ceps. That one you cut is prime no maggots, well done. Enjoy or dry them even stonier if you dry them.

Cheers Arry

Thanks Arry I’m pretty sure they are ok, but I’ve not got much taste or smell at the mo’.....

They were found on the edge of a large clearing overlooked by beech trees. There were also some obvious bitter boletes in the vicinity, so I was quietly confident with these

Some nice Horse Mushrooms about today.

I don't know mate but there are some very dodgy same white ones like the Distroying Angle and the false Death Cap. The ones in the first photo look bigger mate are they?

I think they are just mature versions mate the middle picture is loads of tiny little white dots I assumed were them emerging from the ground, they were very bright like little stars which got my attention and made me have a crawl about in there cheers

Keep an eye out GM for these two in that sort of area. The Winter Chanterelle that the browns one with the yellow stem which is hollow, it has what looks like a cabbage leaf affect on the under side of the cap. If you find one you will probably find hundreds. Nice taste and dry really well. The Hedge Mushroom that is a robust irregular white mushroom with spikes instead of gills. Keeps for ages just scrape the spikes off. Both should be around now in the woods.

Might be old Dryads Saddle but it's very hard to tell as it's gone over so much mate.

Sorry if I’m becoming annoying, but saw these little beauties this morning and wondered what they are,
