Bogeyman the fungus
Various varieties of mushrooms were presenting themselves during today's little walk by the river. I have never seen the first one before: little spikes of white-tipped black poking out of the ground, about an inch and a half high. When you tap them, they give off a fine white powder that floats away.
In theory yes, you can take fungi to the local pharmacy who will tell you which ones you can eat. Personally I don't like mushrooms enough to take the risk.
By a beautiful river valley in North-West France. This blog is about the day-to-day events in running a group gîte in Mayenne. There's a lot of gardening, maintenance, but, I hope, a lot of fun too.

Do you have access to a local edible fungi expert so you can harvest and enjoy the right ones?
