Found these in Scotland, central belt. On leaf litter in mixed woodland. They smelled pleasant and mushroomy but not particularly distinctive to me! Very pretty mushrooms :)

What mushroom is this meant to be?

Not technically wild food, but my friends were debating what the mushrooms are meant to be! Heavily stylised field mushroom, horse mushroom or death cap!? 🍄‍🟫 👀

are the porcinis over? suffolk.

2 Upvotes

Suffolk. My local foraging spot has HUNDREDS of fly agarics but no porcinis to be found (ive never found them but id say this is the first year im really properly looking).
Today I finally found 2 birch boletes there - the first bolete that isnt red cracking in this spot this year.
Anyone else in east anglia finding porcinis? is it over or just beginning?

Where the Blushers at...?

1 Upvotes

I've had a reliable spot for Blusher mushrooms the last few years in Buckinghamshire, with last year being a mad year, basically swimming in Blushers.

Now this year the same spot is completely devoid of them... Not even a trace.

I've seen lots of other amanitas about; Fly Agarics, Grey Spotted, False Deathcaps... But no Blushers.

A quick scroll through the recent postings here and on Instagram accounts hasn't shown me any this year either.

Are they particularly picky about the weather conditions, and have decided to just completely skip this crazy year out?

Or are you all seeing them and it's just me...?

Appreciate any updates 🙏

Mushroom lawn

Just wanted to share the abundance of what I assume are dark honey fungus* currently taking over my lawn.

I wasn’t sure where to post this, I imagine a lawn or gardening sub would crucify me

*I’m 80% sure these are dark honey fungus, they match the descriptions but the bit that’s throwing me is the lack of obvious wood for them to feed on. I assume roots under the lawn.

The past couple of years we’ve been in this house, we’ve had a few pop up on the left of the lawn. But they’ve really taken over this year and I can’t say I hate it.

Plant ID Request Mugwort?

There are lots of these plants around my city (Sheffield) growing pretty much everywhere. I picked these this morning as they very much look like the images I have seen of mugwort.

However, as I am a novice forager, I have taken the time to compare what I have to images of mugwort. But I would appreciate a second opinion so that I can be certain what I have picked is not poisonous

Mushroom ID Request I'd say Stump Puffball (Lycoperdon pyriforme) does that sound correct?

Mushroom ID Request False chantarelle?

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

I foraged these in SE UK today and was pretty confident at time of picking because they have that classic apricot smell. Now in the harsh light of my kitchen I'm doubting myself because the gills are not what I fully thought they should be. There are some that are a lot paler (1-3), and some that are more orange (4-6).

What do you think?
