Destroying angels growing on wood mulch

rose-gilled grisette growing in wood bark mulch

Destroying angel mushrooms – as nasty as the name implies. A fungus which had a central role in a 2001 episode of Midsomer Murders, which included a reasonably accurately portrayal of the symptoms of destroying angel poisoning.

Not a fungus I have often seen around the west midlands, it may have been brought in with the wood mulch.
