So that's where they are, who left them there?
Well done Cat, looks like the one doesn't it? I know it says inedible, but if it was, which end would I start from?
If it is one, some people (including me) do eat them, and say they're delicious, but Roger's says otherwise and they're the experts. In my neck of the woods they call them morillons, or black morilles. I'd never eat a mushroom on the recommendation of someone on a forum who'd only seen a photo though.
As for the the dudie in your photo, I'd definitely avoid the pointy end, could do yourself a mischief
You knew I would didn't you? My mum would definately be shocked. Me too as I have led a very sheltered life.
Nearby at the base of an oak tree in my garden is a cluster of white, round-shaped thingys. I did pull one of them out of the ground to have a look at it, I can only describe it as........sort of......goes with the other one
I shall keep watch on the round ones and let you know if something emerges.
