$Lactarius pubescens, commonly known as the downy milk cap, is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. It is a medium to large agaric with a creamy-buff, hairy cap, whitish gills and short stout stem. The fungus has a cosmopolitan distribution, and grows solitarily or in scattered groups on sandy soil under or near birch. \nDescription:\nThe cap is 2.5–10 cm wide, obtuse to convex, becoming broadly convex with a depressed center. The margin (cap edge) is rolled inward and bearded with coarse white hairs when young. The cap surface is dry and fibrillose except for the center, which is sticky and smooth when fresh, azonate, white to cream, becoming reddish-orange to vinaceous (red wine-colored) on the disc with age. The gills are attached to slightly decurrent, crowded, seldom forked, whitish to pale yellow with pinkish tinges, slowly staining brownish ochraceous when bruised. The stem is 2–6.5 cm long, 6–13 mm thick, nearly equal or tapered downward, silky, becoming hollow with age, whitish when young, becoming ochraceous from the base up when older, apex usually tinged pinkish, often with a white basal mycelium. The flesh is firm, white; odor faintly like geraniums or sometimes pungent, taste acrid. The latex is white upon exposure, unchanging, not staining tissues, taste acrid. The spore print is cream with a pinkish tint. The edibility of Lactarius pubescens has been described as unknown, poisonous, and even edible.\nEdibility: Ambiguous and controversial. In Russia is consumed after prolonged boiling followed by a marinating process. However it is reported to have caused gastro-intestinal upsets. Therefore, its consumption should not be recommended and this species considered toxic (source Wikipedia).$

The Bird's Nest fungi, known for their vibrant orange and red colors, are commonly found in Thailand during the rainy season. These striking mushrooms resemble tiny nests, often nestled among the damp forest floor. Their bright hues make them easily recognizable and add a splash of color to the lush greenery. Apart from their unique appearance, these fungi are also edible and are often harvested by locals. They are incorporated into various traditional dishes, adding both flavor and a touch of natural beauty to the cuisine. The rainy season provides the perfect conditions for these colorful mushrooms to thrive, making them a notable feature of the Thai landscape during this time.

$Amanita phalloides (Fr.) Link in Willd. Death Cap, Amanite phalloide, Oronge ciquë vert, Grüner Knollenblätterpilz, Tignosa verdognola, Groene knolamaniet, Gyilkos galóca. Cap 6-15cm across, convex then flattened; variable in color but usually greenish or yellowish with an olivaceous disc and paler margin; also, paler and almost white caps do occur occasionally; smooth, slightly sticky when wet, with faint, radiating fibers often giving it a streaked appearance; occasionally white patches of volval remnants can be seen on cap. Gills free, close, broad; white. Stem 60-140 x 10-20mm, solid, sometimes becoming hollow, tapering slightly toward the top; white, sometimes flushed with cap color; smooth to slightly scaly; the ball-shaped basal bulb is encased in a large, white, lobed, saclike volva. Veil partial veil leaves skirt-like ring hanging near the top of the stem. Flesh firm, thicker on disc; white to pale yellowish green beneath cap cuticle. Odor sickly sweet becoming disagreeable. Spores broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, amyloid, 8-10.5 x 7-9µ. Deposit white. Habitat singly or in small groups on the ground in mixed coniferous and deciduous woods. Quite common in Europe. This is the most deadly fungus known, and despite years of detailed research into the toxins it contains, no antidote exists against their effects on the human body. Poisoning by Amanita phalloides is characterized by a delay of between six and twenty-four hours from the time of ingestion to the onset of symptoms, during which time the cells of the liver and kidneys are attacked (source R. Phillips). \n\nThis deadly poisonous Species is quite common in the Dutch Woods.$

$Tulostoma brumale, the most common of the stalkballs, is an autumn and winter species found among moss or short grass mainly on sandy, alkaline soil. The dune slacks just behind the first stable sand dune ridges are usually good places to look out for these strange, almost other-worldly little fungi.\nIn older texts the stalkballs are commonly referred to as 'stilt puffballs', and it is now known that puffballs and stalkballs are close relatives. \nFruitbody:\nThis lollipop-like fungus is easily overlooked among snail shells and other pale debris. The rounded 'puffball' with its slightly granular surface sits on a twig-like stem arising from a brown basal volva. Both the spore sac and the stem are white or greyish, the stem covered with brownish longitudinal fibres. The spore-release hole (peristome) is surounded by a reddish-brown ring. \nBall diameter varies from 0.5 to 1cm, and the total height ranges between 2 and 5cm. The stem is 0.2 to 0.3cm in diameter and 1.5 to 4cm tall, tapering slightly towards the apex; it can be smooth and grey or more often fibrous and mottled grey-brown. Inside the spore sac the gleba is white and firm initially, turning brown and powdery as the spores mature. \nSpores: Subspherical to globose, 4-5 x 3.5-4µm; covered in fine warts. Spore mass: The powdery spore-bearing gleba is pale rufous (reddish).\nHabitat: Saprobic, found in stony and sandy soil among moss or short grass, most commonly in coastal areas. \nSeason: September to January in Britain and Ireland; often persisting through to March in Southern Europe.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Coastal Sand Dunes of the Netherlands.$
