When the woodland floor erupts

[Yve_Clark]

Thanks David. That helps me update my little fungi library I was particularly taken with the Phaeolus schweinitzii...it was the size of a dinner plate and did indeed look just like velvet.

 

I fear I may be getting hooked on this fungi thing

That's a really nice picture of the Phaeolus. The few that I have come across never look like the text book images. What was it on? It looks like Beech in the piccy.

Yve, do you mind if we use the Phaeolus shot in the Directory?

Janey, I'm not entirely sure what the Phaeolus was growing on...will check and get back to you.
