The very first thing is to quote the Hatted Botanist: " you can always eat anything, but it maybe only once ! ". So be careful, and remember that poison can stick to your fingers, and then if you lick them ... say no more.
Apparently, there are some 15,000 types of fungi which grow in Britain, so there are probably lots more to be found in Linn Park !
The Linn Park Nature Trail Guide Book has some mentions of them:
- In Summer, at Post One, keep an eye out for Fly Agaric Toadstools, and Shaggy Parasols,
- Autumn, at Post Two, Fairy Ring Toadstools, and Warted Puff Balls.
A guide to Mushrooms that seems to us to be useful is here: https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/
Below are some of the Mushrooms, Toadstools, & Fungi which have been found in Linn Park, some recently, and some reported back in the 1960's.
