Toadstools in Albion Millennium Green

Post by Tim Lund »

Not a great photo from my mobile, and initially I was a bit suspicious - they looked like something from a children's story book, and someone had responded to this by putting some such dolls in the tree above. But they are real, and pale pink with small white spots - the ones which look white are just bad lighting. Anyone know what they are?

Looks like Pink Waxcap. I quick check on google indicates it's rare for London.

[edit] I'm far from confident about ID'ing fungi. I've tried to learn a bit, but it's an amazingly complex area. So I'd suggest posting the picture to the "Wild about Britain" forum. Post the pic to the fungi section. [link]. It's helpful to indicate size, species of tree next to it, and general habitat in the area.

Once you've got the ID pass it along to the London Fungi Group.
