Thought at first this may be the dreaded "destroying angel"
Picked today on grass verge on the side of the road.
The stem is smooth not fibrous and sports a skirt near the cap end.
Anyone I.D this one?
Not sure there is but in general, mushrooms are for eating and toadstools aren't.
Not sure there is a scientific difference although I stand to be corrected
:lolol:
this is correct.
Trouble is the varieties I'm finding aren't in my book so makes it tough. Without being totally sure, I'm not taking them.
For example, the third picture, medium brown cap with yellow gills looks like the bay bolete but the photo I have shows it having an umbrella cap...
Like a bit of foraging but having problems identifying these three.
First two are the same fungi, think the brownish one with a yellow bottom of the cup may be a bay bolete but not sure as the cap isn't like an umbrella.
They're not in my book so not sure
Can anyone indentify these.
