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 #4Carolus clusius pondered on the peridioles.
Hats off to anyone who knows this without looking it up. I think I know what it is but only after quite a bit of research otherwise known as cheating. I don't want to say it outright but one could infer a connection to a soup perhaps.

Working on the soup hint from TJ could it be Birds Nest Fungus ?
I seem to recall this is a harmful fungus that gardeners find in mulch.

I will wait until wednesday for the next clue but this has me totally stumped. If I can't get it then I will shamelessly cheat and admit to it :)
