Just sorting through a few pics and thought I’d post up. Found on the golf course I work at, some recent some not so. Not sure what they all are, some I know some I don’t but find them fascinating none the less. Cheers all.

Some nice examples

A good selection there. Thanks for sharing. 

 

I will have a good look through and see which ones I can name and study those that I don't know. 

 

Fungi is a very interesting subject, I have to agree.

Had to stop the car and take a photo of these in a maize field.

 

I assume that it has recently changed from a grass meadow to crops, hence the presence of what I’m guessing is a giant puffball.

Sizeable fruitbodies. Not sure they are ‘giant puffballs’ (Calvatia gigantea) as they tend to be pure white and not scaly/dimpled like these. Possibly another puffball species. 

Sounds daft, but I take it that you looked underneath and ruled out they had gills?

Did ya take one for the pot ?

No, afraid not, eating unknown fungi is daft, as I’m sure you’ll agree, they were too perfect for smashing up, and I had to trespass into an agricultural field so was conscious of being watched.

 

Unusual to see something like that in a bare earth field?
