Russulas are a large family! It includes The Red-Capped Sickner, known to cause tummy issues to The Charcoal Burner, a delicious culinary shroom. If there’s a shred of doubt leave it out ✋🛑

Conditions are still dry down here Dorset, haven’t seen the usual bloom of fungi but got my fingers crossed for a late wave of rain & cold temperatures🤞

I genuinely thought these were eggs… 😅 nope! They’re spore cases called Sori 🍄‍🟫 Ferns reproduce by releasing spores instead of seeds 🌱 crazy 🤯
