Pointed & Puffy! – The Spiny Puffball
I have a good gauge for the start of the mushroom season in the UK*…
inedible
What a rotter! (1) – The Willow Shield
The Willow Shield Toadstool. From the Pluteus genus growing on dead wood.
Horse & Field Mushroom Imposter! – The Yellow Stainer
I am not surprised at all that the Yellow Stainer (Agaricus xanthodermus) is responsible for the most cases of mushroom poisoning in this country. Although this evil twin of our favourite field, wood and Horse mushrooms is not deadly it can keep you in the loo for longer than you normally do!
