I can't do number 2 i'm afraid, Laurie, too decayed i feel.

I agree with Chicken Of The Woods and it is on the side of decay.

The second one could be a decaying Cortinarius type, Laurie.

Hi Jen.

They are Leccinum scabrum (Birch Bolete).

Excellent photos as well Jen, showing all the right angles of stem, cap and pores, makes it much easier to id.

No idea, Laurie, but I certainly wouldn't risk eating any of them. Lovely pics though. :greatpics:

You really need to know what you're doing when picking mushrooms to eat.

I never, ever, do that. There's so many species that look alike, edible and poisonous, that they can easily be misidentified.

:cool: Laurie . We did have fields near to us in Devon in the past full of edible mushrooms and we picked them regularly . I'd never now be tempted to pick or cook any .. i buy mine from a supermarket or the greengrocers .

Thanks Laurie, the Egghead Mottlegill can go on our fungi photography challenge.

Far too risky to try and pick out edible fungi, one or two are obvious, but many can be mistaken and in all seriousness, it may be the last mistake you ever make!

this is what's left of a small group of Fungi that was growing under my hedge .it's not so much the ID but wether or not it's a poisonous variety :hmm: the reason I say this is earlier this evening ,I watched a Gull land in my front garden and promptly pluck and huge bit and fly off with it :huh: ...I know Gulls have iron constitutions but it's something I've never witnessed before :think:

I was looking through my fungi photos last night for the Fungi Photography Challenge and I've some here I'd like confirmation of the ID, or tell me I'm way off the mark! :egg:

Is this Reticularia lycoperdon? Photographed on the 2nd of June this year on a Scots Pine stump.

Posted Image


Dead Molls or Dead Mans Fingers? 6th August this year possibly on rotting Sycamore.

Posted Image


Golden Spindle? Grassland on 8th August this year.

Posted Image


Plums & Custard? 27th July, Pine woodland on North Uist.

Posted Image


Pretty sure this is Collared Parachute, 3rd August this year, same area as the Dead Molls/Mans Fingers

Posted Image


Really not sure on this one but maybe Lycogala epidendrum 22nd July this year on a log pile that has been lying for at least 4 years.

Agreed on Plums and Custard as well as Marasmius rotula (Collared Parachute). I'll check the others later on Audrey and yours as well John.
