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 #8Clue: Keep a lid on it, else you will pine for this spice.P.S: apologies for delay, have been on leave in Finland and then managed to get a doozy of a head cold.
On the spice line I think there is a Saffron Milkcap (is Saffron a spice ?) and a Peppery (something) cap,reckon I need a thinking cap !!!

Hi

No TJ! I was waiting for the clue, but reckon everyone's on the right lines with a 'cap' of some sort.... Like the idea of the Saffron one too, but not sure where milk comes in yet.....

Yes hope MrsT's ok!
Hey guys, i'd like to say I was ok, but I would be telling porky pies. Have got a rather annoying chesty cough which means I haven't slept well and its making my whole body ache....
Anyhoo, heres the clue: Canal skiff prom.
Sorry you are not well MrsT, we didn't mean to harass you. Wrap up warm and take plenty of honey and lemon or failing that a stiff scotch.
The prize is yours, Seaman, it's an anagram.
