Are they safe to eat and if so how can I establish them at my smallholding ? Let them get bigger mate so they open up and can see the proper colour of the gills. I don't think they are Field Mushrooms the gills would be pink at that stage. Be careful mate. Have a look at this site see if it's any help. https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/ Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,588 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Raining to day so gave the Ferreting a rest and went out foraging for Mushrooms etc. My ferreting mate stopped on the way to mine picked a load of nice Field Mushrooms, after a cup of tea we set off to the side of the Moor. Well fungi every were, didn't have a clue what a lot of it was. I just stick to the ones I do know and there was some good "Hedgehog Mushrooms" and under a Sweet Chestnut Tree there were six "Hen of the Wood's", over the moon with that. Lucky if I find one or two in a season, Found seven in the last two days. Just two "Chanterelles" (the yellow ones)and the two with yellow stalks are "Winter Chanterelles" There are two different "Hedgehog Mushrooms" Both edible the creamy ones and the smaller terracotta coloured ones. Both have no gills but spikes instead. Cheers Arry 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been on the web and through my books and think it might be "The White Dapperllng". Not edible See what you think mate. https://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~biodiv/mushroom/L_leucothites.html Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapperman 474 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Could be mate I’ll try to mow round some and let them grow on and see if the gills change colour or anything how long to grow to maturity for these sort of shrooms ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know mate as I'm not really sure what they are. One or two days I would have thought to get a mature one. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry The one you call Wood Ear also goes by the name Jew's Ear and is used in stews to add thickness to the gravy. I used to use them when I was making a casserole or stew in the Kelly Kettle while out fishing. Just slice them up and add them into the liquid. They seem to like elder and damp places. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapperman 474 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 A few were open, gills still almost pure white I think I’ll give them a miss they can go on the compost with the clippings 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Yeah I think maybe just very very similar? I made that mistake with what I thought were Cepes a few years back, so I won’t be trying these! By the way your posts inspired me to get the River Cottage Handbook that arrived today. I really want to learn more & know I’ve seen plenty of edibles, probably, but haven’t had the know how or bottle to try them...... apart from the ‘cepe imposters’ that is........cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
