Very pale very thin stalks and gills don't look right. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,820 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 The first ones from this spot are always shit mate, they where half dry before I picked them. After the next rain I'll go to the same spot and they'll be bright yellow 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Dryad's Saddle common name Pheasants Wing. Found this big old one would be no good, but then on the opposite side were these young ones. Just took one as they are edible and only classed as fair.

Arry 18,536 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Out for a mooch stuff just starting, rain this week end and for a few day so next week should start to see some fungi. Chicken of the Woods, but slugs have made a right mess of it. Would have tried this Bolete as there is no turning blue, but full of maggots. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 This IMO is "The Rooting Bolete" classed as inedible, the sponge pores under the cap bruise blue almost instantly. When cut turns blue very quickly. Cheers Arry 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Out to see what about. Surprised just how much has come on since last week. Good little haul really, nice few "Chanterelle's" and some a few "Field Mushrooms" a few Boletes. Chanterelle's don't really have gill they are more like ripples and they cut white. Stalks are quite firm to touch. In my opinion this is the "Butter Bolete" supposed to be as good as a "Cep", I'll get my mate to try it Lol. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm 99% sure this is "The Miller" but that 1% there is a similar DEADLY mushroom called "The Ivory Funnel" so think I'll pass just not worth it. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 This is "Wood Ear" it is edible, but I have never fancied it it looks like jelly. This big old thing is another "Butter Bolete" I think but I left it as its so far gone. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,820 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 That looks a cracker I went lugging towards you and found a few in the woods on the way down but not 100% what they are 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the "Ivory funnel" deadly. I don't like little white ones with skinny stems, I'd pass on them mate. Does look a good sort of spot for Chanterelles though, there were loads of them coming last Thursday. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,820 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wasn't sure so left em, didn't look for any mate just walked down to my lug spot. Was actually the kids who found em, luckily they know not to touch mushrooms 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
