I am no expert but looks like a bolete. I am sure some of the others on here will expand on this. They are good eating too if you get the right ones!

found this below a large copper beech, then turned round and kicked the damn thing:blushing: cant find my fungi book so over to you guys..

 

Definately one of the Boletes Ed, but there are many so I wouldn't presume a specific Id.

Nice find.

 

 

Here's some Laetip & Pleurotus from today

Tut tut tut! you must get to grips with your colour settings and daylight balances! lol

 

Chicken can be a bit of a toad for messing about the colour contrasts, dont know why, i do find fill in flash helps adress the balance a little.

Coupla Polyporus squamossus that I spotted on a walk last week.

Did ya get any shots of the pores and specifically the base of the stalk Paul.

 

Just keen to see if there is any reason for some squamosus being very dark toward the base, and some not so.

Having a mare on the last couple of laetips for sure.

 

 

Very bright days, in my defence

 

But no excuse

No, sorry dave. Was on a long walk with a friend who was getting impatient of my frequent stops for tree photos!

Just to back up here a second...I have always thought that the boletes have quite strong species associations ( excuse the generalisation). Tree species can be one way to help pin down an ID was the point...hope it helps.
