If you go down to the woods today.........

Really clever use of the natural shape of the tree. Will be googling that name.

So, new 'neck of the woods' for me.

 

My local is now the extensive Thetford Forest.

Britains largest lowland pine forest.

 

 

Long commute for the big smoke isn't it Monkey?

Nipped out to Greatwood at Northaw for the last hour of sunlight yesterday evening.

 

A fine array of fungal offerings to be had.

Wish I'd had more time

 

Clavulinopsis fusiformis - Golden Spindles

Macrolepiota procera - Parasol

Amanita phalloides - Death Cap

Collybia fusipes - Spindle Shank

Mycena pura & Lycoperdon perlatum - Lilac Bonnet & Common Puffball

Fistulina hepatica - Beefsteak

Amanita pantherina - Panther Cap

What I think is Boletus edulis - Penny Bun & not B. badius - Bay Bolete.

(wasn't able to view pores to see the difference in colour/staining)

Oudemansiella mucida - Porcelain Fungus

& Laccaria amathystina

1. Clavulinopsis fusiformis - Golden Spindles

David,

1. Nice one , would have been a first for me (jealous) .

2. Neither of both I think, it will probably have red pores : Boletus erythropus.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Nice example of the spindles dude, got it myself but not in such a fine group!

2. Neither of both I think, it will probably have red pores : Boletus erythropus.

 

is that because it lacks the white net?

[Fungus]

is that because it lacks the white net?

 

Yes, but also because of the shape, the red shine (from the pores) on the top of the stipe and the dark brown velvet cap.

A second one 50 cms away, (no shot as it was in poor condition) had yellow pores. This is was led to me think of badius/edulis
