I am attempting to make a little more sense of those encrusting types which have always confused me. So am I on the right lines with these: Phlebia radiata ? ![]() Hard, rubbery and very warty looking. Schizopora paradoxa ? ![]() ![]() Rather thin and rubbery. |

Some fungi seen in north Suffolk on 9th September last year, on a verge near a belt of conifer trees. I guess the second (and perhaps the first) as a puffball, but any further i.d. would be welcome![]() ![]()

Hi Brian. Not sure on the first one. Number 2 could be Lycoperdon utriforme. Number 3 is likely to be a Lepiota/Leucoagaricus type. Geoff. As soon as i saw it i did think Phlebia radiata. Having checked and cross-checked guides it looks ok for that to me. Club or Spindle-shaped cystidia might be one way to id Schizopora paradoxa although the pores do look angular and maze-like. |

Thanks Dave. Shall I add the Phlebia to the Fungi Challenge? I've got a couple more for checking so I will add them shortly. |

I don't suppose you have any images of the gills of the fungi in the first photo Brian? |

It is possible that the 1st photo Brian could also be a young Lepiota type. |

Can any one ID this for me? It was found on dead wood on the edge of a mixed woodland next to agricultural ground. Some sort of cup fungus but can't seem to find an ID. Thanks in advance

Hi Louise. I'm wondering if in fact it is actually the very early stages of Jew's Ear Fungus ( Auricularia auricula-judae ). I need to look at other types, possibly Peziza type ( Saprophytic cup fungi ). I'll have a look through my various field guides and get back to you. |

I'm going to go with Jew's Ear, Louise. I can't see anything else that looks similar. |

They can be very numerous in some years Jen but last year we only came across a couple of clumps. They are a lovely fungi with a viscous cap and contrasting darker stipe, lovely set of gills as well and they do make a very good photographic subject. |
