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 #7If you are not careful, Aunt Enchantra might spread this.
Can only think of Witches broom, but that's a plant! Lol!
(OT but did anyone watch 'Room on the broom'? It was brilliant! Lol!)

Ah, Samantha's aunt. You are surely far too young to remember that series, Marjus. I think I know what it is (but only by looking it up) and I reckon you are on the right track.
All I'll say is yuk!

Me too but there's no way I would ever have got it otherwise.
Have just edited this post as I'm giving too much away LOL !!
Ooh! Think I know what it now although I've always called it Yellow Brain fungus!
I have an idea on this but I reckon I'll wait until Wednesdays clue before making a fool of myself (again !!)

Could this be a fungus with long distance spores ( oh, go on have a laugh at my ignorance but I am still new to all this, although I am learning fast)
