We found a lovely big fairy ring of field mushrooms in an alpaca field when a few of us went for a forage at the skills share. Breakfast the next morning was enhanced.
So jealous, hardly seen any boletus at all this year, few red crackers and thats it so far. No sign of chantrelles yet either here (wilts) but i'll be going to some spots later in the week....
I should have written boletes, not ceps. Think they are red cracking bolete. Have also found some small puffballs and one I think is 'uncommon but widespread'. Will get someone to look at it today and see if my ID is correct. We sometimes have unusual fungi in the wood.

They are definitely starting to appear - I love this time of year!
Have had the one I thought was a spiny puffball confirmed. Now have another puzzle that I can't find. It looks like a spiny puffball to start with in both colour and shape, but the spines are less densely packed. It opens up to have a white stem and gills. No sign of veil and don't think there is a frill on the stem either. Any ideas? I might be able to post a picture later when one of our group sends it to me.
