As Well To Be Sure

There are a number of wood rotting fungi of similar appearance. But it's best to look more carefully than we did this morning, beyond just taking a snap of something attractive. For example if this is the Velvet Shank it is edible but if it's the Sulphur Tuft it's poisonous. The Brick Cap meanwhile is inedible but probably won't do you as much damage. Tomorrow we must look for the colour of the stem.
