The last 2 years have been hopeless up in Wales for fungi generally, so hoping for better this year. Had a very few field mushrooms, usually also dine well on Ceps and Parasols - they are the ones I feel comfortable identifying.

First of the Magic Mushrooms are up already - looks like it will be a good year for them............if you fancy "flying down the fells" whilst sitting in an armchair beside the fire :w00t:.

A field I run through had about fifty mushrooms last week. There has been no mushrooms there for at least five years. I stopped and looked at them and they had def come within a couple of days. I thought it would be cool just to leave them. I never really pick any of the weird ones as I'm not confident enough.

2 mushrooms and a lovely fresh parasol (first this year) on this mornings run, have them for supper tonight. Damp and mild weather should bring them on now.

I am only confident with cep, field mushroom and chanterelles... oh and puffballs Everything else I leave well alone... Mind, think a shaggy inkcap is easy to identify? Never eaten them...

Most fungi books have clear indications as to what can be easily identified as edible varieties. Mine give warnings against ones that are edible but could be confused with inedible or poisonous ones, so you should be fairlly safe even if it means you aren't collecting some that are actually edible.

Field mushrooms ie growing in grass and looking like shop mushrooms are quite safe as well as horse mushrooms which are quite big.

This evening I picked a mushroom, Cep and Puffball on our walk after work. I fried and ate them all as a starter for supper. Yummy, yummy (hope I don't have a bad tummy :w00t.

Saw hundreds of strange looking mushrooms today on a walk up to Thievely pike. Some were small orange things.

There were loads of very large Fly Agarics (I think ) on the narrow root strewn paths through the pine forest at the Black Mountains race on Saturday. Apparently they are "magic" as well

Looked like these:
