| Hi I think it is the rufous milk cap but please get a book and check as they give help on identification by smell and staining (when you cut them or bruise them ) if it is it is edible but it's very peppery and is best mixed with pickle milk cap and woolly milk cap and we boil it and rinse it before we use it |

Hi, In winter I collect
Auricularia auricula-judae (Dead Man's Ear) from Elder trees.
Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) these are usually on dead ash trees.
And Flammulina velutipesi (Velvet shanks).
I get the occasional wood blewit too.
Sorry got no pics. |

Wild Mushroom Identification - Recommended Books for All Skill Levels: Every amateur mycologist should have a decent library of books, here are the top five books I highly recommend for wild mushroom identification:
2) Mushroom Picker's Foolproof Field Guide - A good all round book - Peter Jordan
3) The Mushroom Book - This one is a proper belter with loads and loads of good technical data - Thomas Laessoe
4) Complete Mushroom Book: The Quiet Hunt - A lovely book by a lovely man. Antonio Carluccio
5) The River Cottage Handbook - Mushrooms - Always a favourite from Hugh's fungi specialist friend, John Wright
It is important to have at least 3 books so you can cross reference and cover as many species as possible
