Might just be a natural flush of fruiting from the change of weather from hot prolonged summer to wet cooler autumn. Loads of species of sapro’s and Myco’s fruiting like crazy down here currently. May not be as a direct effect of the fire.

By observation, I'm sure that the location of fruiting is linked to the earlier fruiting. I've scoured the surrounding unburnt grass and heather and can't find a single specimen, yet for about a week/ten days they were popping up on the burnt ground. 

I'm thinking that there's either a change in the chemical constituency of the soil, due to the fires, or that there was sufficient heat to damage/kill the rhizomorphs which has led to fruiting. 

 

It's really strange, there's numerous FFBs scattered over the burnt areas right to the edge but nothing at all beyond them (that I can find)
