    Just thought I ought to mention it, as it had been suggested they were Common ink caps - don't think they are - the colour and texture looks wrong to me.

    Shaggy Inkcaps are edible and very tasty and I didn't want the reference to 'ink cap' to cause confusion.

    Colour's more like it, but then fungi colour can be notoriously variable - time of year would be right .... but there's very few I'd identify as edible online - probably only Shaggy Ink cap and Giant Puffball image

  • Yeah I wouldn't eat it as seeing I'm not very knowledgeable on them I wouldn't want to risk poisoning myself lol image

    Chicken of the wood is delicious - there are also reports of morels in Norfolk, but I've never been lucky enough to track any down.  When I lived in Suffolk I had a source for Wood Blewits which were lovely too - the chap who gave them to me was such an expert - I'm very much a learner who grew up in the country with people who gathered mushrooms, and I've been on a few Fungi Forays.
