holly Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 had a quick walk around a local wood and a few edible mushrooms are making a show pheasant back also known as dryads saddle (polyporus squamosus) easy to see why its called pheasant back and also oyster mushrooms (pleurotus ostreatus) growing up the side of a beech tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I didn't know you could eat them tbh. Is there anything similar about that I might pick by accident that might make me err... well, dead? I have family that forage but I'm useless so i avoid it all (apart from puff balls) as I don' want a dose of the mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 A survival course I did years ago taught me one thing I remember and that is there are no poisonous bracket fungi in the UK, many will taste like tramps armpit but they won't kill you!
