#giantblackeningpolypore

What is difference a week makes in the world of fungi. There was barely anything to look at in the woods last Saturday and this week, there’s lots of activity including my first forage of Giant Blackening Polypore. It’s easy to mistake it for Chicken of the Woods and also needs cooking before eating. It can be chewy but we have some excellent young specimens popping up all over the place so my first experience was yummy yummy yummy. And not chewy at all. Also in this mix of pix is tiny lonely mushy ready to be stepped on in the path, young beefsteak mushroom (will come back for this in a day or two), orange wax cap in a super log hole and a poisonous roll rim growing in my neighbours front yard. . . . #mushroomseason #littlebrownmushroom #beefsteakmushroom #yellowwaxcap #waxcapmushroom #giantblackeningpolypore #giantpolypore #blackeningpolypore #polypore #brownrollrimmushroom #rollrimmushroom #ediblemushrooms #poisonousmushrooms #lincolnshire (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVejhMrAI5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
