Distraction by Fungi

The interest in fungi might have started in 2013 on a family holiday in the Forest of Dean.

Fungi along the route of walks was one of many strategies to try and distract our youngest from their tiredness!

Macrolepiota procera – August 2013
Forest of Dean

The distinctive snakeskin patterning marks this as Macrolepiota procera, however, this specimen was found under conifers and we have read that it could also be Macrolepiota procera var. pseudo-olivascens.
