The above and these below from a stroll through the 800 year old continuous coppice of Bradfield Woods Suffolk, this afternoon

Really good shots - was that a grif up on a stem?

Yep, on coppiced oak

Ah, I thought it was further up by the looks of the first photo!

 

I can spot species of Amanita, Coprinus, false chanterelles (I think?), Polyporus (Cerioporus), Boletales (many diff' genera), Russula, and Lactarius, I do believe. And a Scleroderma.

..........and a partridge in a pear tree !

 

 

The mycorrhizas were a treat today, but the highlight was by far Suffolks biggest girthed oak, (curtesy of Reg Harris) and the fine troup of dryadeus on its trunk

[Kveldssanger]

That's indeed something! Are they P. dryadeus? Look different to how they usually look - notably the tapering-off on the underside, and the atop colour.

[David Humphries]

Yes, P. dryadeus.

Suillellus (formerly Boletus) queletii, the deceiving bolete.

 

Mycorrhizal on the roots of this hornbeam

 

Flesh stains blue immediately upon exposing to the air.

 

Delicious in a soup.

 

A bit intimidating when they turn blue though, you ask yourself "am I really gonna eat this".
