They've got sunnys, lime greens, sun beetles and African millipede.

Arry 24,924 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Always a job to tell from a photo. Seen them around Beech trees may even be called the Beech sickener. Trouble is I stick mainly to suff you can eat. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 5,251 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Well done Arry I looked at the sickener and thought no it can’t be I just kept going back to the rustgill good guide though it does seem to have most types in there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 5,251 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) The Sickener WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Poisonous but will only make you vomit. Common. The Russula family split from other mushrooms, evolutionarily, many years ago and have round cells... Tell you what threw me the stalks they seemed too thick Edited February 9, 2022 by FLATTOP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry There's a sickener and a beech sickener mate, found them in my pocket guide... Well the 6 year old did. She went through everyone and found any she thought looked similar. The mulch doesn't have beech in it which is why I'm almost sure it's the sickener. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
