One thing is certain at this time of year, I will see fungi and mushrooms in most gardens as I mow and collect leaves.
I made a point of trying to identify each one I saw this year, although this is a difficult task with fungi. I am not a hundred per cent confident that I have correctly named all of the mushrooms photographed; for this reason I would never eat any or advise others on which ones to forage.
Please do not use this post as a guide to edible mushrooms.
Unfortunately I didn’t see Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) last week; that iconic mushroom with a red cap and white spots from fairy tales (although I have seen it growing nearby in previous years). Those fungi I did see were;
– Silver leaf (Chondrostereum purpureum) fungus
– Mower’s mushroom (Panaeolus foenisecii)
– Brown roll-rim (Paxillus involutus)
– Sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare)
– Mica cap (Coprinellus micaceus)
– Stinking parasol (Lepiota cristata)
– Ivory funnel (Clitocybe dealbata)
– Banded mottlegill (Panaeolus cinctulus)
– Clustered bonnet (Mycena inclinata)
– Shaggy ink cap (Coprinus comatus)
– Neoboletus luridiformis
