It was a very wet day, but without rain we wouldn't have any fungi to find! We loved the contagious excitement of the guests when finding the mushrooms. Everyone got stuck in with lots of good questions. It was an added bonus that we were lucky enough to find a fair amount of prize edible mushrooms for everyone to take some home.
49 different species found, and that wasn't even everything there! This is what we found in 4 hours: Agaricus arvensis / Horse Mushroom (18) Amanita citrina / False Death Cap (see above) Amanita citrina var alba / White False Death Cap (13) Amanita fulva / Tawny Grisette (15) Amanita pantherina / Panther Cap (16) Amanita phalloides / Death Cap (14) Amanita rubescens / The Blusher (17) Apioperdon pyriforme / Stump Puffball (not pictured) Boletus calopus / Bitter Beech Bolete (see above) Boletus edulis / Cep (Porcini, Penny Bun) (7) Boletus reticulatus / Summer Cep (6) Boletus subtomentosus / Suede Bolete (5) 'Bootlace' rhizomorphs from Armillaria / Honey Fungus (39) Calocera viscosa / Yellow Stagshorn (not pictured) Cantharellus cibarius / Chanterelle (25) Chlorophyllum rhacodes / Shaggy Parasol (35) Cortinarius / Webcap (42) Cortinarius bolaris / Dappeled Webcap (43) Cortinarius violaceus / Violet Webcap (41) Crepidotus / Oysterling (26) Favolaschia calocera / Orange Pore Fungus (29) Hydnum repandum / Hedgehog (see above) Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca / False Chanterelle (24) Hymenopellis radicata / Rooting Shank (23) Hypholoma fasciculare / Sulphur Tuft (38) Hypomyces chrysospermus (4) Laccaria amethystina / Amethyst Deceiver (30) Laccaria laccata / The Deceiver (see above) Lactarius / Milkcap (3) Lactarius blennius / Beech Milkcap (1) Lactarius quietus / Oakbug Milkcap (2) Lepiota / Dapperling (34) Lycoperdon pyriforme / Stump Puffball (not pictured) Mycena - growing on a beech leaf (31) Mycena (22) Neoboletus luridiformis / Scarletina Bolete (8) Oudemansiella mucida / Porcelain Fungus (27 & 28) Paxillus involutus / Brown Rollrim (40) Peziza badia / Bay Cup (36) Piptoporus betulinus / Birch Polypore (37) Phaeolus schweinitzii / Dyer's Mazegill (33) Russula / Brittlegill with 'rose comb' mutation (21) Russula atropurpurea / Blackish Purple Russula (20) Russula cyanoxantha / Charcoal Burner (11) Russula nigricans / Blackening Brittlegill (10) Russula nobilis / Beechwood Sickener (12) Russula ochroleuca / Common Yellow Brittlegill (19) Scleroderma citrinum / Common Earthball (not pictured) Trametes versicolor / Turkey Tail (32) Xerocomellus chrysenteron / Red Cracked Bolete (9)
