micky 3,325 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 These three types were picked in a very old sheep pasture that has never been dressed with anything ,up to the middle 50s it was used for Rabbit Trapping and nothing else. The first two pictures show two types of Fungus that were growing on there own on the south facing slope of this pasture among some very active Rabbit Warrens. The third picture shows Fungus that was there in abundance all along the west facing slope of this pasture land , it was growing alongside an old mixed growth hedgerow extending about ten yards out, when i arrived at this field it was not quite light and i picked one up and texture assumed they were bluelegs , when i returned an hour later they still looked like bluelegs but when i looked underneath they were orange in colour . There were more types of Fungi at this place including lots of horse Mushrooms . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

micky 3,325 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 they are not plums and custard , they very much look like blewitts from the top but when you look underneath they are a very distinct orange/gold colour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
