Arry 18,580 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Out for a quick mooch to see if I could find a Chicken of the Woods as SHH would one this week none on the trees I know. Came across this though didn't recognise it " Shaggy Scalycap" unfortunately not edible had to look it up to check. Seek App did identify it but would not trust that with my life. Growing at the bass of an Ash tree. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry It’s a very good site I’ve been referencing it a few years now I remember when you first put it up, but your right if you not sure about any leave them alone although it doesn’t look a bad one to identify, if DC don’t peg it eating them we know there ok 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,242 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Bit of help please daughter is in Devon and has picked these, edible or poison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,242 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Come on arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,580 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Sorry mate I only just seen this. Right the top picture looks like a good "Field Mushroom" cant be sure about the others from photos mate. The dumpy one on the right looks like a nice Cep/Penny bun. Thats a good one to learn and easy one to learn. All the others I cant tell mate. The last is a "Parasol" Should not put mushrooms/fungi edible and poisonous or unknown in same basket always keep separate for ID. Please check this site out. Wild UK Mushrooms (Fungi): Guide to Identification & Picking WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Edible and poisonous wild mushroom identification guide. When to pick, what to look for. Photos, video, safety tips for each mushroom. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,837 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Based on personal experience but hard to say for sure I'd go with ; Red - parasol Blue - field/horse Red - certain that's honey fungus (edible but can cause issues to some) I recently found out that will only grow from dead stuff so if it appears on a lawn there is probably a dead root or something underneath. Green - cep/penny bun Purple - a waxcap but not 100% on type 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,580 Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Theres some cracking Horse Mushrooms about at the moment, if any body is interested. the one in my hand in 8 inches the other to about 6 inches across. Horse Mushroom WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM A great mushroom with a rich, strong taste and as it can grow so large and in rings, usually provides quite a feast.

Arry 18,580 Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Also some good Parasols about this one 8 inches across. Take them if over 6 inches across is safest. I like them sort of nutty taste but they don't keep long. Should have a snake skin appearance to the stem and you can move the skirt ring up and down. Parasol WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM A great tasting, easy to identify mushroom that is large enough to spot from afar. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
