The Fungi World (359) : Penny Bun
Penny bun is a fungus whose habitat consists of both deciduous and coniferous forests, but has a preference for forests dominated by pine and spruce.
Sometimes on occasion, its cap can reach 30 cm in diameter, a stem height up to 25 cm and a total weight of 3 kg !
This edible fungus is considered as one of the safest wild mushrooms to pick for the kitchen table, as there are no poisonous species that closely resemble it.
But it is also an important food source for animals living in the wild. Penny bun is known as the favorite dish of the red squirrel.
So I would strongly advice to leave it where it belongs and that is the forest…!
Dutch name : Eekhoorntjesbrood

I would've liked to order 2-3 kilos from you.

With the dry summer we had this year I can't imagine there will be many mushrooms around, so leving them in the wild for the animals is a good idea. Great light and lots of fine detail.lg
