More berries! Cherries this time found on the Taunton canal towpath. Another crop for the freezer - minus a handful I had with my lunch! @monicawilde @WildFoodUK @Kimberley_EBird

Oak bolete? Found in the Quantocks. I left it for the slugs to finish as they’d already started! @WildFoodUK @TotallyWildUK @ray_rambling

Today I had the chance to try an experimental dish prepared by the restaurant Alchemist. Oyster mushroom mycelium. As a microbiologist it felt so wrong to eat the contents of a Petri dish but I am glad I did; it was delicious! An interesting and promising alternative food source.

Young leaves of English scurvygrass, also called long-leaved scurvygrass (Cochlearia anglica). Mature leaves, when in flower or just before, can look very different

ID help please! Found these young leaves at Steart marshes, near sea. Thought it was v young sea beet, but underside of of leaves thin soft tissue, and stems long, leaves not sqeaky. @johnmushroom @TotallyWildUK @WildFoodUK @ray_rambling @TheForagersKitc

I think there's a real possibility, these might be a close relative, Brick Tuft, Hypholoma lateritium. More often then not, there's some degree of Red (centre cap), with Paler Orange-White outer rim. Gills start cream, turn Olive-Grey, which seem to match up. Sometimes singular

Am I right in thinking these might be young Poplar Fieldcaps Cyclocybe cylindracea? Googling indicates they can have this pinkish brown colour when young. Unfortunately didn’t check the dead wood it was on, but there are a lot of Willow trees nearby. @WildFoodUK @ray_rambling
