Slippery Jack (Boletus luteus) Described as gregarious beneath conifers, preferably pine. It is fairly easy to recognise and I am told that it is good eating, but may have some unwanted after-effects.

Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) Identified by one of my companions, these are one of the most palatable fungi, unless one has the identification wrong. But at least the species that can be confused with Chanterelles are just not very good rather than actually poisonous. Or so I believe.

Cross-leaved Heath (Erica tetralix) Often confused with Bell Heather (Erica cinerea). Normally the flowers are over by late August, but there were still a few on show.
