Fungi in my garden

Hi all. I have loads of different fungi in my garden and am very keen on hedgerow and wild cooking. How can I find out which ones (if any) are edible?

Hi Lee

I am afraid, not on the Wild About Britain Fungus Forum. We do not recommend edibility in case of mistakes, accidental poisoning or litigation arising from this.

There are plenty of books on this subject, why not take a look in your local bookshop.

Fungi are very interesting in many other ways, and you can ask the forum about anything else to do with fungi.

If you let the forum know which county your are in you may get some leads as to forays in your area, and of course you can always do a search on Google for Fungus forays including your county in the search. I usually find a few that way.
