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

P fraxinea (I hope:001_smile:) A large ash of about 4' dbh.

This beech has had some Ganoderma adspersum brackets for a couple of years now but this year they seem to have gone mad.

Podoscypha multizonata (the many zoned rosette) here at the base of hornbeam (unusually)

Return visit for Tony and David. Turns out it was just some ivy on the tree in the background Mr Croft. I won't go into my recommendations here. Might post elsewhere though.

Found these boletes under a fairly young apple tree today, also many that looked identical under horse chestnut only without the cracking caps. The lack of cracking may have been due to a more shady damp location, maybe...

Any clues on species? I didn't see any discolouration, and they just smelled (smelt?) nice and mushroomy.

Gano australe?

Xylaria polymorpha

A little Merip, struggling on...

That darn pesky ivy, thinks it's a shapeshifter and pretends to be fungi, so it does
