01-10-2011 Nut Wood

As it was a lovely day out there today i decided to go out for a few hours foraging even though it seems like as it's so dry out, the season maybe a little later this year BUT there were still plenty of bits to see, maybe 20 species of mushroom with just the odd edible (But nothing majorly interesting yet!) And i decided to pick the last blackberries i will get this season as they are pretty much gone over now, Oh and a small bag of hazlenuts to see how they roast up.

Fungi Species i found in the woods today:
Stinkhorn
Jelly Ears
Clouded Agaric
Common Swamp Brittlegill (Or maybe an ochre brittlegill, was a yellow russula that wasn't too peppery)
Some Sort Of Lactarius (A quick taste of the latex told me it was a HOT one, Thats the best i could do!)
Sulphur Tufts
Red Cracking Bolete (I Think)
Oyster/Pleurotus (Think it was a branching oyster but not 100%, see pic)
Shaggy Scalycap
Honey Fungus
Armillaria Ostoyae (I Think)
Common Puffball
Dead Man's Fingers
King Alfred's Cakes
+ maybe 5 or 6 more that i couldn't identify, oh and a couple of woody brackets/polypore's that i couldn't (be bothered to) identify.

A couple of pics from the day
