Found this mushroom a dead deciduous tree.
Found in Trondheim Norway on the 22nd of March. Weather in general has been between -5 and 5 degrees.
I believe this is a velvet shank, but haven't picked any before so i thought it wise to get a second opinion.
Cap diameter is 3.4cm
Stem length is 2.5c |

Stems are chunky a |

Penny Bun on our lawn!
Yes - definitely a first for us: although we've had the odd Horse Mushroom in our garden, along with non-edible species (Fly Agaric, Paxillus, Earthball, etc. etc.) this is our first home-grown Penny Bun.
It's almost certainly in mycorhizal association with the birch tree wh |

Hi all,
Today I found a group of yellowish mushrooms in mixed woodland on the mossy forest floor. At first I thought they might be chanterelles/girolles but having never found any before I’d like a second opinion. I’ve looked through my mushroom books but I’m still not certain. They smell pleasan |

Good morning everyone, I am a forest school leader, whilst reconnecting children with nature, I have developed an interest in wild mushrooms and foraging. I would love to know more. Does anyone know of a club or society in or around Ashford (Kent) that I could join?
Thank you for your help |

Hi,
I find these quite regularly in woods near me - are they one of the trooping funnel types? I used Geoff's book for some idea but couldn't bring any home for closer inspection this time Sorry for poor pictures! |
