Well, I have made a bit of progress since my last post. Firstly I have now at least heard of spore prints, which no one has ever mentioned to me before. I went out today armed with my book and followed some previous advice I had been given to only eat a very small amount first, even though I am only choosing fungi which are pretty distinctive from now on!
Secondly I have found a good site to help with identification. It seems very comprehensive!
I hear a woman has died after eating death cap mushrooms and another is very seriously ill. Now I really fancy eating wild mushrooms they are so much tastier than anything found in the shops.
Rather unnerved I considered growing my own wild mushrooms in the garden and in discussion have found this excellent site which has loads of contacts and ideas. In fact I am so impressed I am going to make it a permanent link…I have been on a foray with a local group but they went round the cemetery, which I found rather off-putting!
