April's Fungus of the Month is the brain-like False Morel (Gyromitra esculenta). There have already been a few sightings across Scotland this year, but I bet you didn't know there's a link between rockets and this poisonous spring fungus! Have a look at the full species profile to find out more.As usual, we are trying to improve our understanding of the distribution of Scottish fungi and there's plenty of room for new finds. Please pass on your records to your local fungus group and/or via the Scottish Fungi online recording form. We'll make sure it gets passed on to the BMS and eventually to the online distribution maps provided by the National Biodiversity Network. Happy hunting.
