Full-grown velvet shanks growing at the same time and on the same tree as the smaller ones featured in the previous post.
They are popular with gatherers of wild food, as one of the few edible mushrooms which grow at this time of year. Something else has already been nibbling these.
Warning: do not pick and eat any fungi unless you are sure they are an edible species. Velvet shanks can be confused with poisonous sulfur tufts.
