Fungi Records 1992 - 2004

Most Poisonous Fungi
Amanita phalloides [Death Cap] causes 90%
of all fatalities caused by fungi consumption. Less than 50g causes death up to 15 hours after eating.

Largest Fungus
Armillaria ostoyae, an underground fungus, covers roughly 600 ha [1500 acres] of a forest in Washington State, USA.
It is between 500 to 1000 years old.
Thanks to Guinness World Records for above

This record details all the fungi I've identified in the 10 years I've been foraging.
The most common find is Collybia confluens at 53 which gives an idea of where various fungi fall in terms of how common they are.
The Clitocybe and Mycena forms should probably be higher but I find them hard to consistently identify. This goes for the Bracket and Cup Fungi sections as well.
Lepista nuda should be higher as found regularly at Reres through the early years but not always recorded as had for breakfast! Rhytisma acerinum is found every trip but it's only recorded once.
My biggest disappointment is the number of brown spored agarics I can't identify.
Of fungi below a few of the single finds may be suspect. If they are reasonably easy to identify [such as Marasmius rotula] it's just that they're quite rare finds for me.

I've put in the fungi, then number of times found during the 10 years. If the fungi is blue in colour it's because it has a common name. You'll find this name in the Nicknames section.
If you know of any common names that I've missed out I'll be happy to hear from you.

If I've put a fungi in the wrong classification feel free to inform me and I'll correct it.
