No but I did see some of that pale yellowish agaric you see on chip piles, and something resembling a gelatinous gone over Exidia truncorum that the ants where going bananas over? not sure what it was, and couldnt get any closer, was a HUGE nest and by this time the sun had warmed up and dried out the colonies:thumbdown:

 

They make study in BB very difficult and uncomfortable these days, but that also keeps the public at bay so i will suffer them gladly.

Whilst out hunting down the elusive Oak polypore at Epping today, I came across a good number of bees nests in old Oak pollards.
