I've found some monsterous Parasol's but i think that's fairly normal for them.
I tried them a short while ago. Wasn't a big fan at the time but there is lots that I'm not really a fan of (I'm not a fan of Wood Blewits for example). I'd have to try them again to be sure. Last...
Lol!
They can be eaten if prepared correctly. The toxins are water soluble.
That's very strange. They are very common here when the time is right (like right now). They like to grow with Birch...
I'm about to go go out, I'll post pics if i return with enough decent ones!
If it was B. badius the pores would bruise blue rapidly.
I think they are just be the same species, and the yellow on the stem being spore deposits or something. It's just that i never really noticed it before. I've tried eating both either way and they...
Yeah. And then more again on Wednesday in a different location 40 miles away. The big thing on the tree was a burl. I just never looked close enough before as it requires climbing a tree with no...
Other people getting to them isn't my problem (surprisingly, as they are right next to a well traveled path). They just grow so fast!
It doesn't concern me either way. I have previously harvested Chaga. I just thought it was comically big!
Apparently harvesting anything smaller than a melon will kill the tree (a lot faster). I'll be returning to the original location tomorrow so we will see for certain what this and the other growth...
Good find. The last load i found were already past it apart from a couple! This always happens. First there is nothing, then i go back in a few days and it's already too late.
I suppose not as I can only speak for the ones I've harvested. The rest I've only looked at. But they have all looked the same.
I'll have a closer look soon to be sur. But a Birch tree a couple of metres away definitely has Chaga on it so it seems likely. I keep reading that it's uncommon or rare, but i have found it several...
Yeah. Staffordshire.
Check out this bad boy!

I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which Russula this might be. It differs from the Russula ochroleuca specimens i normally find in that the cap is a duller yellow colour and there is yellowing on...
Yeah you did the right things so it's ok. You wouldn't have ended up eating it anyway i don't think. They are way too tough.
Lol. I understood you. I was asking what the mushroom was! Or whatever it was you found.
What was that?
Apparently they are poisonous when unripe.
I'm surprised they bothered to try and sell these of all things. I can't imagine many people having a use for them. They aren't exactly a choice edible! Very surprised indeed.
It's very close but by the looks of all the google pics a slightly different species, unless morphology can vary between plants. But undoubtedly in that genus.
Yes, Chicken Of The Woods.

The plant in question is no more than a couple of feet high.
