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

[David Humphries]

Little leg stretch at Anglesey Abbey this arvo, but not much fruiting around.

Some remnants of Amanitas and Russulas but not very photogenic.

 

Only thing worthy of getting the camera out was this solitary veiled oyster (Pluerotus dryinus) on an old horse chestnut wound

 

 

A few shaggy ink caps (Coprinus comatus)

 

 

and some honey fungus (Armillaria mellea)

For identification it's always useful to see the gills/tubes underneath the cap Kev.

 

Not entirely sure on the first ones but maybe sulphur tufts or Armillaria.

 

The second image looks like Armillaria species.

 

Difficult to be more precise with out more visual clues.

 

 

Last time I as at Winkworth there was a lot of Armillaria around the whole site.

Nice Jules, metal work part of a deliberate access route up into the tree?

The aptly named 'plums and custard' (Tricholomopsis rutilans)

 

Saproxylic on the dead roots of this pine.

This fallen beech in the New Forest was home to many species of fungi, but namely these three below (Mucidula mucida, Pholiota aurivella, and Pleurotus ostreatus).

 

Some nice porcelain fungi thrown in at the end from the same beech tree, but out-of-shot from the first image.

 

The Pholiota coming out from the underside suggests it may appreciate slightly cooler and more humid conditions than the procelain fungus and oyster mushrooms. I saw exactly the same site (minus oysters) on another beech, with the Pholiota emerging out from right underneath the fallen stem.

Can't resist shooting Pholiota squarrosa, it's just too darn pretty
