I thought this Countryfile article might interest some of you The Woodland Trust Scotland would like to hear about any early sightings of fly agaric in an online survey. Fly agaric or Amanita muscaria is a common species of fungus that is widespread throughout the UK. They are commonly found on light soils in mixed woodland and heaths among birch and pine. These iconic toadstools are highly toxic, so do take care around them http://www.countryfile.com/news/keep-your-eyes-peeled-early-fly-agaric?utm_source=Responsys&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=NLT_CFIL_27-07-2012_Virbac |

A great link Jan. It will be interesting to see if any fungi appears early this year and can't wait for the season to start. |

Well....out of all the places we have been to so far in Norfolk we have not seen a single Fly Agaric!. We still have a few places to visit however and fingers crossed we will find some. Has anyone else come across any yet? |

PaulaInterestingly though it does appear that from the ones we have seen so far,which have been very developed, that they may have been out early,certainly in parts of Norfolk at least. |

I don't think it is Andy but it might be within the same genus. |
