Southpole Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Hi Can anyone identify this fungi please ? Edited May 30, 2018 by Southpole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nope! Sorry you got me there. What is it? Joking aside I have looked through my small book on fungi but cannot find it. At first I thought "Funnel Cap" but not with that colouring I'm afraid. Fungi with similar colouring to your photo do not seem to take on that form. ??????? I would like to know what it is too.

Christopher Price Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi It could be Lactarius rufus, although it likes to fruit under conifers. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means put it on site but call it a fungus or toad stool and leave it to them that know to apply a specific name. This site and others already have more than their fair share of inaccuracies.
