Fungi

Now there's been some rain more signs of fungi in the grassland. The one above is a Meadow Waxcap. It's quite an untidy looking thing translating itself into all sorts of weird shapes, with widely spaced gills easily visible even from above. The experts say it is edible and I've tried it and survived. It holds a lot of water so needs little or no oil in cooking. I have to say I found the taste a bit unexciting which is a pity as it's easily the commonest of the waxcaps on Thistle Hill.



The mushroom below, an Agaric, is much more like the kind of thing people will go for if they are looking for a breakfast delight .
