There is a lot of timber milling around this district and hence a lot of sawdust is generated. One of the mushrooms that comes up on such piles of sawdust is Pluteus cervinus. This is a rather gelatinous mushroom with the distinctive pink spore print of the genus. I have cooked and eaten this mushroom, but I wouldn’t class it as the most desirable fungus I have ever consumed. I think that it would benefit from an initial dewatering in the pan before cooking.
