1. Excellent find! C&D give it as edible ++. What did it taste like? 2. I finally found a large ring of Calocybe gambosa in Alexandra Park . The reason that it...
The resupinate that I took for Gloeporus turns out on closer inspection and with help from Keir to be Ustulina deusta, the photo has been renamed accordingly....
Hi Ted, It is notoriously difficult to ID a fungus from a photograph. The fungus in the picture certainly looks interesting and it is probably worth trying to...
A long day spent surveying breeding birds in deepest Wood Green plus square-bashing for (very few) butterflies across a swathe of north London reserved its...

Hi there, I hope that someone can help me. My house is full of various indoor plants, and I only have this problem with one of them. Up until three or so weeks...
Hi Louise, They sound very like the Plantpot Dapperling (Leucocoprinus birnbaumii) which often turns up in houseplants or in greenhouses. It's a native of ...
re my previous message; I've now seen lots more similar mushrooms & been able to follow their development for several days; they are obviously M.oreades. The...
