Caps and Rings

Ideal conditions for mushrooms. There are Amanitas, Russulas, Boletus, Agarics, Lactarius, (milkcaps), and others. Under the beeches are Ceps and red-capped russulas including the dreaded Beechwood Sickener.

Most have been feasted on by slugs and snails. Yet this milkcap, .....


exuding drops of milky liquid from the gills beneath its cap has been left alone.


Out on the heather and bilberry we wouldn't see fairy ring mushrooms but did see a gossamer ring.
