Fungi

Introduction

An attempt at identifying fungi. There’s a strong chance I am 99% wrong.

Stinkhorn - Close to Greenham Common Nature Reserve - Berkshire

Out walking with my friend Will searching for one of the last blooming orchids in the UK - Autumn Lady Tresses. We didn’t find any unfortunately but we did find these!

Chicken of the woods - Bagley Wood - Oxfordshire

Apparently as the name suggests it tastes of chicken… or at least is a good replacement for chicken!

Oyster Mushroom - Bagley Wood - Oxfordshire

Coral Fungus - Kingley Vale - Chichester

Stinkhorn - Kingley Vale - Chichester

Surrounded by his fallen comrades.

Volvariella Bombycina / Tree mushroom - Kingley Vale - Chichester

I want to show just how enormous this mushroom was. It diameter is roughly 10", maybe even bigger. Honestly it was a beast to be reckoned with. It’s quite a rare one this and in Hungary it is illegal to pick!

Fly Agaric - Bagley Wood - Oxford

Found walking with Adam whilst collecting sweet chestnuts. Adam wouldn’t eat a foraged nut as he thinks food collection should be left to the professionals 🤷‍♂️.

Lycoperdon Perlatum / Common Puffball - Bagley Wood - Oxfordshire
