A few from today are causing me some head scratching. Several are waiting for possible spore prints but here are two for now. Neobulgaria pura (foliacea form) clumped together; or possibly something else entirely. About 40 mm jelly like and slimy, no smell. ![]() And one which I have tried unsuccessfully to identify for several years. Around 30 mm but I have seen them up to 70mm. Very soft and a bit slimy. They don't last long and easily fall apart when touched. I'm thinking about Cortinarius possibly C. flexipes. ![]() ![]()

I'll certainly take a look Geoff but these brown Cortinarius are really tough to id, might even be of the subgenus telamonia. I'll also have a look at the jelly-like mass. |

If it is definitely Cortinarius sp, Dave, that is a step forward for me. |

I'd say so Geoff but getting any further might prove problematic. |

It would be interesting to know more about these, Dave. Every year I encounter a few in this wood but have never managed to get anywhere with identification.The gills almost seem to be on the decurrent side, which adds more confusion. I was wondering about C. flexipes based chiefly on the stem colour and shape but although this one is a suitable size I have seen them twice as big at this site. Difficult to find one in good condition though; by the time they reach maturity they start to decay and even when younger they are very soft. Growing among moss and decayed material on old decaying wood, they are scattered around the site in small groups. |

Post 2357 Grayling is indeed Velvet Shank. My only thoughts regarding the lone one with more crowded gills at the top of the photo is down to the fact that the gills might shrink in on themselves due to the fungi decaying. |

Dave, very many thanks for that I'm hoping this might be early Chicken of the Woods? Close to the bottom of an oak tree trunk. ![]() Underside ![]() |

Hi Dave , i've been searching for this jelly type but can't narrow it down this must be one of the stages as it's beginning to look old . .. they're funny to touch , not sticky at all but very soft The second is a bad shot , the camera wouldn't focus for some reason ... would it be a coral spot ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hi Jen. The second one is indeed Coral Spot.The first one looks like old Jew's Ear fungus, they tend to darken with age but still partly retain that 'ear-like' form. |

Sorry Dave i missed your reply I seem to have just as many in the garden as i've found whilst out for a walk ![]() Would you have an ID for this one i did find today .... i believe it must have been an old quarry . I'm not sure what all the trees were .. some were obvious but some to me were not . I'm wondering if this fungi was on a piece of cherry the leaves around the area were serrated like a cherry but then hornbeam and others can be similar ![]() ![]() |
