Thanks Dave, I checked the NBN Gateway and it has been recorded from the area I found it in. I'll pop it on the Fungi challenge screening thread. |

That's good to know Audrey. It is listed as seldom recorded but it's all about geographical location. |

Spotted this whilst out walking a few days ago there were some more on the tree but they were old and going black.![]() The following photos are all the same fungi growing in groups round the base of a poplar tree in my garden. The soil being poor as it was formerly an orchard and tip. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I'll take a look at yours shortly, Hazel. Hi Laurie. Fungi A is Oak Bracket - Inonotus dryadeus (In it's early stage) Fungi B is The Blusher - Amanita rubescens Fungi C is a Russula type (Would need to do various tests on the specimen to get close to an id) Fungi D is an Agaricale, need to check my field guides for this one. Fungi E is Brown Birch Bolete - Leccinum scabrum |

Fungi F - A Ganoderma-type bracket Fungi G - Honey Fungus - Armillaria mellea Fungi H - Another Russula-type, as with all of this genus they would need closer inspection and tests. |

Your first one Hazel looks like an Inonotus type, can you remember what type of tree it was growing on? |

That looks very similar to the one my parents have in their garden, Audrey (ID unknown as yet). |

After a bit of messing around I suspect this monster is Leucopaxillus giganteus. Is this correct?![]() 300 mm across and 240 mm high. Funnel shaped, in pasture field. Others nearby were in a poor state but this one was just about intact. |

I would say so Geoff, size alone is a good indicator along with the closely-packed decurrent gills. The gills start off being ivory white but then turn brown with age, as this specimen is starting to show. It can also be added to our fungi photo challenge. |
