Mushroom

Spotted on a walk, not sure what type of mushroom it is, does anyone know from this picture?

Fabulous find! It looks like some kind of stinkhorn. Have you checked here - https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/fungi-and-lichens/stinkhorn/#:~:text=Where%20to%20find%20stinkhorn,dead%20animals%20or%20bad%20drains.

@jeremyccc You're welcome! I keep lots of links handy for identification and research purposes. Most are for North America, but I have a few for the UK. =)

Hi Jeremy! I use a plant ID app on my phone ("Picture This") It identifies your mushroom as "shaggy mane" (aka 'lawyer's wig" or "shaggy ink cap"), but I don't know. The app can make mistakes...? But this could give you something to look into. Thanks for the question :)

@365projectorgheatherb Thanks Heather, I've just ordered a book on mushroom foraging!

How unusual!

I don't think I would risk eating it. A woman in Victoria has just been charged with poisoning her relatives. I think three of them died but the other one survived.

so unusual
