Field mushroom or yellow stainer


Here in Kent field mushrooms (Agaricus campestris) are in plentiful supply. And whilst they’re relatively straightforward to identify, they can be confused with yellow stainers (Agaricus xanthodermus). So here’s a few pointers on figuring out if it’s a field mushroom or yellow stainer.

We look at telling if it’s a field mushroom or yellow stainer on our 1 day foraging course as well as on our IOL Bushcraft Competency Diploma course.

You can see plenty of photos from both courses, as well as all our others, on our Facebook page.
