Mushroom Identification

https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/

That's my go-to guide for fungus ID. Not that I'd ever pick or eat them anyway but sometimes it's interesting to know!

Thanks for that crazy-legs, I've had a look through that site and I'm still not sure what they are. Mushrooms seem  difficult to identify as they change so quickly as they develop, and not all stages are shown in the reference guides. Fascinating little things.

Rest assured they are all edible.

Some, maybe more than once 🙂

My guesses.

1. Horse mushroom
2. -
3. Sulphur Tufts
4 Deceiver

I would trust my mushroom knowledge 0% 😉

I work on the premise that if they’re still there they’re the eat once and never again variety 😉

I have a rule about not eating wild mushrooms that look like shop bought ones. The top ones could could be horse mushrooms but the Destroying Angel looks a bit like that and has white gills. Google your survival chances if you it them!
I stick to Chanterelles and the Boletus family.

my guess
1. Grey Knight poisonous -ok maybe not, but best not to mistake it
3 sulphur tuft

Don't ever take chances with fungus but Mrs dB recons:-
1. ?
2. Fairy
3. Honey fungus
4. ?

Knowing where they are growing helps identification.

There's just two types that I used to eat wild, chanterelles and the hedgehog ones, both v easy to identify (false chanterelle are harmless and not that similar anyway).

Ok I did try some other ones as a student, that I trusted a friend to have identified correctly....

Many thanks, that information helps a great deal, really appreciate the help.

3. Honey fungus

I'd disagree, but only as they have no visible skirt*

3 - Sulfur turf

*Not an expert..

Thanks z1ppy, I think they are Sulphur Tufts. I intend to go back and have a closer look, that's if they are still there...
