Nice to have the fly on your tree-step Mick.

 

may have just colonised via spore

 

Any birch/oak woodlands near by?

 

.

 

[Mick Dempsey]

Oak yes, only birch in the immediate area are those I planted.

I was in an 800 year old continuous coppice hazel/ash, birch & oak standard woodland in Suffolk today.

 

Plenty of fly agarics and other stuff.

That is a sizeable puffball mate, did it make it home to be gourmetfied, or was it riddle with slugs and maggots?

Have you published any books David. A field guide would be great.
Your very inspiring sometimes.

Done bits and pieces, but not considered a whole book on me tod, that's a fairly big undertaking.

I did contribute most of the in situe fruit body images to the Arb Associations Fungi on Trees - An Arborists field guide, helped Steve put together the Arbtalk Fungi App and have written a few articles on fungi and decay.

Oddly enough I was just literally asked today to help put together a new field guide, but imagine that will be a while till it becomes available. I sometimes even inspire myself
