King trumpet mushroom. It may be eaten either fresh or dried, roasted or baked but the flavour is not highly regarded and the flesh is chewy.
Shaggy ink cap. A type of fungus which is edible when young. The cap overhangs so that, rather than the more common round cap, the shaggy ink cap has an elongated ovoid shape. It has shaggy scales which, when young, are white but which become darker with age. As it ages it becomes quite unpleasant to eat and eventually dissolves into a puddle of black liquid, giving it its English name.
Black boletus mushroom. Excellent to eat from August to October whether raw in salads or cooked or preserved and also freezes well.
