It was a lovely crisp and sunny morning for a long wander through the radiata pine forest at the top of Spooks Hill. I spotted so many Fly Agarics Amanita muscaria on the edges of the forest and especially under the oak trees on the northeastern slope. There were also lots of tiny Bonnet Mushrooms scattered on the ground.
Going off the path to explore under the Oaks I was pleasantly surprised to find a large group of mushrooms I've never seen, snuggled into the thick layer of oak leaves. They were a beautiful soft grey/purple colour with light purple stipe and gills. After checking ID it looks like they could be Wood Blewitt Lepista nuda, which means they're edible. I might pick some next time I go up the hill if they're still around by then.
