Dibbinsdale Fungi Finds

An August bank holiday outing to Dibbinsdale LNR on the Wirral provided some interesting fungi finds including some edible and some deadly delights!

A 22cm wide fresh specimen of edible Beefsteak Fungus Fistulina hepatica. In a couple of weeks this will have matured to resemble a prime cut of meat.
