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

Found a few bits over the last couple of days.. first two are growing from an old beech log, next three are on an old spruce stump, two from a multistem cherry, a very small lilac stem with dusty little ring around the stem and sumfink on the chip pile, I don't know if there is anything to be excited about but some positive id would be great! 20190101_110336.jpeg20190101_110330.jpeg20190101_113010.jpeg20190101_113025.jpeg20190101_113038.jpeg20190101_125300.jpeg20190101_125319.jpeg20190101_130631.jpeg20190101_130613.jpeg20181229_091823.jpeg20181229_091811.jpeg

Think you're looking at 

Trametes versicolor 

Phaeolus schweinitzii on the stump

Ganoderma sp on the cherry

Brefeldia maxima on the twig

and something like Otidea onotica on the mulch

Thank you! I've read a good few of your posts over the years, I like the balance of knowledge and humour. About time I started learning what I'm looking at, thanks again for the quick response.

a little bit of foraging today with a good result.

I did not quote what these fungi were. I believe the first and second picture are coriolus  versicolor (many zoned polypore)

 3rd picture is Scleroderma of some sort I believe (could be something entirely different). Last one maybe Lactarius of some sort.

Yep oak, been sitting about 4 years I think.

thought so.

 

I bought the used but very good condition Michael Jordan Encyclopedia of Fungi. Very useful book. 1000's of fungi to study. Thanks for the recommendation.

I stand corrected by the way. foraging and foraying are both very different words. The latter being the one I meant to use in my post. Foraging is the act of looking for fungi to eat. I was foraying; as in looking for fungi for observation and study.
