Seasons first

I say 'seasons first', well, they're the first I've seen this season. A clump of lovely fresh Parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota procera) nestled together in a woodland opening. More commonly they're found outside of woodland, in our area, that's on the forest's open holmes or on our coastal hills and cliff tops. When seen on mass they're quite a sight, and incidentally, they're a very tasty shroom. Though as I'm at pains to remind folk at this fungal time of year, never touch, pick or collect any mushrooms you are not a hundred and ten percent certain of, and even then check again!
