Mushroom spotting!

Our little pocket guide
Gestern bin ich mit meiner Tochter im Wald spazieren gegangen, um nach Pilzen zu suchen. Wir waren erstaunt über die Vielfalt, die wir in den Wäldern rund um unser Dorf entdeckt haben. Wir haben 18 verschiedene Typen gefunden. Meine Tochter war besonders beeindruckt von der Entdeckung von Pilzen, die Halluzinationen verursachten - und sogar von Erstickung (sie liebte es, diese neuen Wörter in ihrem Taschenführer zu lernen) auf den Schulfeldern! Einige unserer Sightings sind unten gezeigt.

I went for a walk in the woods mushrooming spotting with my daughter yesterday and was amazed at the diversity we discovered in the woods around our local village. We counted 18 different varieties of mushroom and fungus. My daughter was especially impressed at the discovery of mushrooms that caused hallucinations - and even asphyxiation (she enjoyed learning these new words in her pocket guide) on the school fields! A few of our spots are pictured below - Bebe has identified a few with her trusty pocket guide but if anyone can help with the unknowns - or indeed correct us - please comment:

Unidentified
Fairies Bonnets

Eggshell Toadstool
Magpie Ink Cap (unpleasant smell, possibly poisonous)
Crested Coral Fungus

Yellow-Stemmed Bell Cap
Birch Polypore (inedible)
Magpie Ink Cap (Young)


Many-Zoned Polypore
Orange Peel Fungus (edible, we think)
