Just found another couple of things. The first one was growing in the middle of a grassy track in a semi-natural pine plantation.![]() In a regenerating area of the same plantation, I found a ring of fungi on a sandy, gravelly forest track, there's a picture of the ring and a close up of one of the bigger fungi. The bigger one was about 2cm in diameter. ![]() ![]() Is the ring suitable for the Fairy Ring in the Autumn challenge? |

The ring is fine to use on your challenge. Not sure on the fungi as yet. |

Pam, whilst by no means an expert, I do know some fungi, so might be able to help, although if you want to wait for Dave that's ok. Anyway, I'm not sure on 1-3, 4 is definitely Candlesnuff, 5 looks more like Fly Agaric to me, you can just make out some spots near the bottom of the fruiting body and quite often the spots can wash off in the rain, Fly Agaric is also in the Autumn Challenge though. With number 6, the top fruiting bodies look too smooth to be Witches Butter, they look more like Black Bulgar, sometimes called Bachelor's Buttons, the lower bits look more wrinkled, but I'm not sure they're wrinkled enough to be Witches Butter. |

Hi Pam Agreed on Hen of the woods and Woolly Milkcap. The bracket fungi in photo 3 is a Trametes type but would need to see the underside to try and attempt an id. |

Hi Audrey. Post 2323 is a slightly ageing specimen of Otidea bufonia (Toad's Ear) and can go on the fungi photo challenge. Not sure on the second one in the fungi ring. Did they have stems and gills? |

Thanks Dave, I'll pop a photo on the screening thread. The fairy ring fungi did have very short stems and gills. |

It is indeed Pam, just different stages of growth and decay. Hi Jen. You might be right there and i can make out the kidney shaped attachment, if there was a light tan colouration on the cap then it may well be Birch Polypore. |

Is this Honey Fungus? Dead stump cut close to the ground; probably pine but possibly Sweet Chestnut - in the Pinetum at Wisley.![]() |
