Inonotus hispidus

[Jon@CareFell]

and bleeding from the stem low down. I am pretty new to mycology so your thoughts and insight would be welcome.

Cheers Coleman. They look pretty

awesome.

Dunno what these are but they look cool!

Look to be one of the Ramaria sp

[ATTACH]136161[/ATTACH] It also had these growing from the base and footplate earlier in the year.

 

 

Difficult to be sure as the shots aren't really clear, but I would think they are a Coprinus sp possibly C. micaceus.

Gymnopilus junonius - the spectacular rustgill

 

here on a rotting hulk of some broadleaf or other.

 

This year there seems to be a fair bit more of this around in my neck of the woods than has been noted before.

Oudemanciella mucida - the porcelain fungus

 

 

another noted to be on the increase in my patch.

 

 

perhaps due to less dead wooding on our beech than there used to be.

Another fruit of the 'forest' that appears to be on the increase.

 

Podoscypha multizonata - the many zoned rossette, here picked up by a colleague in what is a very busy west London park.

 

Almost tripping up on them these days, which seems at odds with the status given to it with its own biodiversity action plan associated
