    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...

    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 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!

    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...

    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...

    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.
