Many types, conversely, are temptingly tasty, but I've come to the conclusion that it's best not to pick wild fungi (apart from the common field mushrooms) because:

like many other natural life forms, they are reducing in number, so picking any would reduce the next generation;
the family wouldn't eat them;



the best way of finding out is something is poisonous is to eat it!
The last picture, by the way, is a shaggy ink cap, seen not at Fowlmead but at Dungeness.
Plenty of birds moving today, including a nice arrival in the garden of a tit flock including long-taileds and goldcrests. More surprising was a late flock of six house martins and a single swallow, flying low and chasing insects under the cloud.
