I went on a fungus hunt with a friend once. I thought I knew a lot of fungi, but the variation in size, colour and texture was incredible - I particularly liked the little bright yellow one that looked exactly like a sweetcorn niblet on a white stalk... cute.

I only hunt with a camera, having had my share of 'bush tucker' and 'food for free' experiences way back in my late teens. One day I'll get round to buying an identifier book.
