    You'd be rather unwell if you ate this one fella.

    Hope this helps.

    Glad I could be of help buddy.

    I've been an avid wild food and fungi forager for roughly 20 years mate. First came across this one about 9 years ago growing prodigiously in a beech forest in North Yorkshire.

    All the best

    Great stuff. Fungi is something I don't forage as 99% sure is 1% too little so apart from puffballs and the ones in cellophane I leave them alone.

    As a tip for ya !, buy Shitake mushrooms from the supermarket (when they are going cheap) and do the poor mans dehydrating method . 70 degrees and leave the open with a wooden spoon to keep the door open. Overnight.

    Keep 'em in a "pour-n-store bag" from Morrissons. they make bovril smell veggie !

    Have a go !
