The sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) is a common woodland mushroom. This saprophagic small-gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees. It has a bitter taste and is poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions.Photo: Jörg Hempel
