It’s mushroom season!
The winter nights are drawing in and the mushrooms are popping up under trees and in hedgerows all along the UK.
Warning: there are approximately 15,000 types of wild fungi across the length and breadth of the UK, many are poisonous and will do serious harm if ingested. Do not eat a single mouthful of any type of mushroom you cannot 100% identify.
However, the ones bought from the supermarket are usually fine!
