Beefsteak Fungus (Fistulina hepatica)

The Beefsteak Fungus, Fistulina hepatica. This mushroom is best cooked in a creamy recipe or mixed with other mushrooms due to the slight acidic taste. I do note that insects are already attacking this young one…at least two are visible in this shot.

Seen in Chiswick House and Gardens in September 2022.
