The Mushroom Man Part 5) Hypholoma fasiculare Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MrMagnaDefender: Time to archive the series due to a number of reasons which include a quarry built on top of them and also a local nutcase at the farm near number 5. Thanks for all the logs [:D]

Noone should be subject to behaviour like this. Whenever I've been passing the farmer has been accomodating. Its probably changed hands and has been replaced with a nut case who has problems with PUBLIC FOOTPATHS. Either that or it might be something to do with the new quarry works which will be going on soon.

I've decided to archive these for those reasons as its inconsiderate planks like these guys who ruin outdoor sports for everyone.

Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the Sulphur Tuft, Sulfur Tuft or Clustered Woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.

The Sulphur Tuft is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting ,diarrhoea and convulsions, and many death poisonings by this mushroom are reported in Japan. The principal toxic constituents have been named fasciculol E and fasciculol

Look out when you approach the farm yard. Please go over stile and not through the field in the direction of the arrow. This is the location of the farmer's cesspit.
