Just my luck :lol2:

I find those brown ones very confusing as I tend to think that they are probably something else gone over so I don't always bother with them.

Hi Pam.

Agreed on Oyster fungus and Sulphur Tuft.

The other might actually be a Tricholoma type but i'll look into it in more detail tomorrow Pam.

Hi Jen.

The first one is the early stages of Witches Butter (Tremella mesenterica). The second one is more than likely Beechwood Sickener.

Hi Jen.

I have just had a thought...did you use the flash on the camera when you took a photo of the Coral Spot?

A couple from my visit to Warnham yesterday; Mixed Deciduous Woodland - Oak, Beech, Sycamore, Birch

Is this Blushing Bracket? On decaying wood

Underside

Posted Image

I wondered whether this is Splitgill? Again on a decaying stump.

Underside

Posted Image

This was on a decaying tree which had split and the inside was a bit like sawdust and I wondered whether it is Flat Oysterling?

Hi Grayling.

1. Agreed with Blushing Bracket.
2. One of the stages of Melanotus horizontalis, This can go on the fungi challenge as well.
3. Agreed on Crepidotus applanatus (Flat Oysterling) sessile attachment and no scalloped margin. This can also go on the fungi challenge.
