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 #10Clue: a succulencies order lip root.
Nothing wrong with a bit of sin, Wendy, as long it's not one of the seven the deadly varieties. LOL

Is that the three-toed variety?
Yep - with chips & a side salad rofl !!
Clue: That's more than enough Almathea.
That confirms it for me :) I will stick with Horn of Plenty - weirdo that I am as a child I loved Greek and Roman mythology - think I still have the books some where and occasionally things stuck in my mind.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Must be thick - can't see the connection to Almathea!!!!
Almathea is one of names of a the nurse maid of Zeus, she took the form of a goat and Zeus broke off one of her horns and it overflowed with goodies - the horn is also called a cornucopia or horn of plenty
Thank you Caroline - had found out most of it but did not know that's what they called the horn!! Wiser every day on here
