Provisionaly identified as Sparassis Crispa.

Although it is growing on my lawn, nowhere near pines.

Also it is pure white.

OK, I am preparing to go out with a torch & collect it before some rabbit or vole trashes it.

How should I preserve it ?

I am thinking of in a plastic bag in the fridge, hope the wife doesnt mistake it for a cauliflower !

Or what is the best way to preserve it ?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

dry it out for a few days over a radiator, not too close to the heat! then pack it off when dry to key, ive not a clue what it is but it aint sparasis!
