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

Access to a zip slide. Metalwork has almost sertainly resulted in this trail of O.m.

Found this on an apple tree today. Almost sure it is lichen but I may be wrong.

It was quite dry and flakey like lichen but 3-4mm thick.

Is there a fungus it may be?

Thanks
