Hello Folks! Fungi come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours. Whilst some are edible, others are poisonous and best avoided. They can be found almost everywhere and are often easily overlooked. Many can be seen in woodland and meadow, especially at this time of year.Each Monday for 12 weeks I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify the UK fungus. On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest.MYSTERY FUNGI QUIZ #3Not heavenly, so beware.
Ooh! Destroying angel or Death angel, and sometimes called angel of death!?

Mrs. T I have no chance without a bit of a little bit of research although I did get the first part (what I think is correct without cheating) !! so can't say what I think it is other than D.F. lol

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
oooh, I didn't think earth with that first clue Seaman, clever ! I thought of something more dark lol now you've got me wondering !
Might have to find that book for this one.
Some good suggestions here. Taking Hazy's darker thoughts there are some fungi which start with Devil's something.
