Re: Nice looking mushroom
Well spotted, nice colours. I've often wondered what does the damage to them.
I think the earlier you get up, the more chance you have of finding undamaged ones, I'm not 100% sure of that though.
Certainly hallucinogenic before you suffer its other effects - it's poisonous.....

Re: Nice looking mushroom
Nine times out of ten its slugs that cause the damage, although this week \i witness a roe deer eating some fungi in my garden.
All too often even if you make a early morning start to photograph fungi the slugs have beaten you to it.
A tip. Take a walk around in the early evening, try and find some young examples still well closed. Get a plastic drinks bottle cut the bottom off and place over the fungi. This will act as a mini greenhouse and encourage growth, plus keep slugs at bay. Hopefully next morning you will have a perfect specimen -- try it, it worksTrev

Re: Nice looking mushroom
Hope Glider doesn't mind me adding to his thread -
These Fly Agarics thrive on acid soils and often under Birch trees, as here -
- and it's quite interesting watching them develop, from tight "lollipops" -
- to their full flat form -
These came from a couple of years back. I went back to the same area the next year better equipped with tripod, flash, reflectors etc, but arrived a couple of days late 'cos they'd been wiped out by frost....
Cheers, Chris.Just chuggin' along.

Re: Nice looking mushroom
Did mean birch not beech - I have birches at the end of my garden and each year they produce a couple (not the ones in my photos). Don't recall seeing them under beech. In the first of my shots you can see fallen birch leaves and the trunks of young birches.
