I will remember, and will be making sure that we take reasonable precautions in future. And I'll remember not to over-react again

. Thanks for all the explanation and discussion. I am aware of the rules on not discussing edibility and appreciate the leniency this time I hadn't intended to bring it up.
I have always loved wildlife of all sorts, but it has been more of the 'oooh that's interesting/pretty/wierd' level and left it at that.

Since getting the allotment, I've been paying a bit more attention and trying to learn more about all of the wildlife I come into contact with. It's fascinating, but there's SO much to learn

!

This was the first fungi I've come across on the allotment and was totally unexpected. Please excuse my newbie-ness (if that makes sense).
Thanks Again
Nicola
