Yep, not too far from that beech going down the hill.

 

Can't miss it, as this is right next to it.

P. squamosus

Laetiporus

Pretty sure you've shot this before Tony?

[treemeup]

Not very good pics i'm afraid but a large ammount of puke (i think)

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

your aminita is a rare find in whip my friend, bravo, fifiteen years and not one so i am well pleased to see this, suspect its the blusher.

 

as for the last I am still unsure of this one, i reckon its an inonotus but which one? think i will sample and pay the fee of 50 just to setle a 7 year itch.

 

really nice colybia sample too.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

oh and Hispidus i have seen edophytic in whip too? only place ive seen it though?

 

mmm interesting.

Yeah believe it to be A. rubescens - the blusher.

 

Suprising to hear the Amanitas are a rarity at the Whip

 

Even muscaria?

 

 

These two are mycorrhyzal on Beech which are on the pronounced wood bank running along Rousebarn lane on the Whip side opposite Newland's Spring.

 

The fung on the Beech in last shot are colybia, just posting that as a reference for location.

I know its suprising that aminitas are a rare find, but its true, but i think this is more due to the pressence of so many other mycos, there is a young wood on the A41 near the Munden estate that is riddled with every species of aminita, but thats fung for you!
