Most years we got a good crop of wood mushrooms along the bridleway...

But this year I have seen absolutely none, so far. Don't know if the dry weather has held them back and they might yet produce a bloom?

Usually get a few parasols as well...

Yes, saw that - not sure how she thought she'd get away with it 🤷🏻‍♂️
I only eat a few varieties that are hard to mix up with anything toxic but I do see a few Death Caps most years - I posted this pic upthread a while back;

A quarter of one of these will kill you ☠

Good one. in all my years of mushroom hunting, I have never found a death cap - or a destroying angel. An American guy posted a destroying angel in the fungi thread on the photography forum...

He had no idea what he had got!

The 2 in the same genus (Amanita) that we get locally are fly agaric (A. muscaria)...

Supposed to be more hallucinogenic than toxic, but I'm not tempted.

The other one we get is tawny grisette (A. fulva)...

It's good to eat, but I've never been tempted, simply because of who it is related to! 🤪

With regard to the original post and images of this thread I again ask .....

No, Ard. Completely different. Portobello mushrooms are a variant of cultivated mushrooms. Ceps are a type of bolete. The boletes have spore tubes, rather than gills under the cap.
