This photo shows the Shaggy Parasol fungus at the west end of Lodge Lane. It is a large and conspicuous agaric with thick brown scales and protuberances on its freshy white cap. This mushroom does contain toxins which can cause gastric upsets, so it is not recommended for eating. In the background can be seen houses in Collings Walk.
