This month's Fungus of the Month, Laccaria laccata, is very variable, hence its English name. Read the Full profile for tips on how to identify it. There are a few similar species in the genus, so it's an opportunity to get to grips with some simple microscope work - or ask someone to check for you!
Please let us know if you find it or submit the record to your local fungus group. Also, remember that the ever growing list of 'Fungus of the Month' profiles is available here, ordered alphabetically or by its highlight month.
