Not likely, even following those pics I'd be too terrified of picking the wrong ones and poisoning somebody (well, husband) 
learning to love veg…..except celery :-O

I'm with you on that. Even when I was on a little island in Finland my friend was gathering chanterelles (which are pretty easy to spot), she kept asking me to join in but I just wouldn't take the risk of poisoning her or me.
I'll try that again!

Chanterelles are easy and so are ceps but the blusher worries me. It looks like a brown fly agaric which we were warned off by a friend who took us mushroom picking last year. I thought the fly argaric was only red like this one

But you don't have to eat any of them do you? You only have to photograph them for the challenge!!

Isn't the point though to encourage more people to eat mushrooms?

we found mushrooms here in France recently and took them to the pharmacy where you can have them identified.... cautious to the point of refusal was the response; went away none the wiser ... think I need to find a more willing pharmacist!!

why don't we do our own photo challenge for the photographic society that has died a bit of a death? I've not seen many yet this year, but then not really been looking. I remember going on a fungus foray a few years ago with an expert and they are everywhere if you look for them.

I had that idea too Janet. I failed miserably last month to produce any photos at all. Can we make it all types of fungii, so we can have more chance of photos. What does everyone think?

A few years ago, we had a delivery of some mushroom compost for the veg patch, and discovered that wood blewits (picture here) were growing amongst it! An edible delicacy for us - the 'full English' was made a little special!
