anything this time of year?

[Fungalpunk]

Risley Moss has plenty to go at in the autumnal months and you are quite well positioned for getting to some other good fungi areas. Also Mere Sands Wood nr Rufford do an excellent foray each year. We have missed the last couple as I am usually leading one elsewhere but I can't fault the one's they do there - nice place too.

Good for dragonflies Risley too but that's another ballgame....

You have a load of enjoyment to come - go for it!

i am definatly going to get out there and try a few things after all this help from everyone, thanks very much guys
by the way what is one of those forays?

[The Woodman]

It's when fifteen men and women meet in a car park on a nice autumn morning and walk off into the woods with their heads down muttering latin chants like wizened old monks and then meet later to discuss what they've found.

They take some prize specimens home to eat and then get a cold reception from the other half who'll leave them on the drainer to rot rather than cook them.

On the other hand Fungal Friends sounds good fun. I wonder if the Snowy Disco is found in the autumn?

[Mushroomman]

lol, might consider one of them. While i've been looking and learning about mushrooms i've noticed that most mushrooms that grow in other seasons other than just summer and autumn, are in fact innedible. the two main mushrooms that interest me are the Fly Agaric and the chicken mushroom

[The Woodman]

Yes, I agree that the Fly Agaric is a striking shroom with much folklore attached to it and other attributes which I cannot confirm.

If you mean Chicken of the Woods then I'm with you on that one. All I'd like to ask is if you take a sample, just leave half of it to procreate. The experts will probably tell you that you don't need to leave any but I like to leave just a little to appease the Green Man.

Go for it and get out with the Fungal Friends, I bet they're all right really but remember to do your neck exercises!
