Can anybody tell me what this unidentified mushroom may be?
I had looked through my book and searched t'internet but have come up with no conclusive identifiation.
Found in forest/woodlands in South east Essex on September 6, 2008.
Habitat: Oak and chestnut trees around. Growing on soil covered with your standard braken and leafmold
Has mottled top side a bit like tiger bread. Underside had a spongey greeny orange colour.
Smells like....erm a mushroom.
I found several of them
about twenty metres from a small trickle stream that runs through the woods. They were not anywhere else.
Quite a few of then had bitemarks taken out of them. Not sure if it was the slug or the foxes but I didnt see any foxes climbing trees or white gloved badgers doing big box little box so if anybody can help me I would be most appreciative before I try licking one.
