Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

[AJStrees]

This beech came down in one of the many storms last year. Have left it to see how it progresses. It was certainly hollowing at the base.

These tidy little numbers had popped up a few weeks back. Anyone know what this fungi is?




Also at the base of a pine. Sparassis crispa I would say.

Orange ones are likely to be Pholiota aurivella. Nice Sparassis !

Agree with David's id and opinion of the Cauli. It's in perfect condition and just right for the table - if you've got the time to clean it as it'll likely be full of earwigs, woodlice etc.

A good friend told me about these books coming out so I have pre ordered them because of the hype at a cost of £75 I am sure they will be worth every penny ?
