  1. Saturday #Sponge day!

    Check out these beautiful Boletes that have sponge like pores instead of gills!

    Almost all members of the larger Boletaceae family have pores or tubes instead of gills which make them an easy family to identify.

    There are about two hundred and fifty Boletes worldwide with about eighty identified in the UK which, with only a handful to avoid due to toxicity, leaves a good amount of edible mushrooms that can be safely identified for consumption.

The stages of a Shaggy Parasol! (Chlorophyllum rhacodes)

    A Shaggy Parasol is a #large, stocky mushroom with a #convex cap when mature. The cap’s surface has raised #brown scales, giving it a #shaggy look, further enhanced by the shaggy edge to the #rim.

    The shaggy parasol’s habit of #growing in rings, known as #fairy rings, has long been part of European #folklore. Some believe the #rings symbolised a place where #fairies, #pixies or #elves danced in the woods. Others believe that they were a #portal between the fairy world and the #human world!
    
On a side note, though #edible when cooked for some, I wouldn’t be #foraging this one for dinner because it can cause #severe gastric upset in 1 in 25 people!
