Here is the tier of brackets which I mentioned yesterday. My only suggestion is Rigidiporus.![]() ![]() About 8 ins across. Hard but rather brittle. Growing on oak. |

It is indeed Geoff. I can't tie it down completely with the tools i have to hand but i'm sure Nick will come back with something positive. |

Hi Geoff. Nick reckons it is a faded Chicken of the Woods Laetiporus sulphureus and no wonder i couldn't get anywhere with it as it was the last one i had considered due to various things. |

Thanks. I started off by wondering about that but I thought they eventually degraded into a slimy mess; not turned hard and brittle. I have seen a couple in that wood previously but don't really know much about them. |

I feel that this mushroom is quite common but can't see it in my book - any thoughts? It was growing on mown grassland on a housing estate.![]() ![]() |

Hi Mike. Its a Coprinus/coprinellus-type, looks similar to a mature developed Coprinus lagopus but this group are notoriously tricky to id and i wouldn't want to commit without at least having a spore print, but even them i would suggest that microscopy might be the only way forward. |

Thanks Dave! Now you've got me looking at the right genus, I wonder if this is more C. plicatilis (Pleated Inkcap) than lagopus? I was thinking it was a parasol mushroom - and its name in some books is Parasola plicatilis. But I accept that its not possible to be certain without a microscope, so I guess I'll never know!

It could well be Mike, the gills aren't adnate or adnexed to the stem itself and seem to radiate from the collar. I think the spore print would eliminate certain other types for sure but possibly best left as Coprinus/coprinellus sp. I always find this genus tricky and often call upon the help of a Mycology expert i know. |

I have actually just had word back this morning from the Mycologist guy i know and he said that it is without doubt a Pleasted Inkcap, i trust Nick 100% so it can be added as Pleated Inkcap, Mike. |

This fungi (i think) was on the back of an oak leave. It was on loads of oak leaves actually.

Scoot, I agree with Jenny either Common Spangle Gall - Neuroterus quercusbaccarum or Silk Button Gall - Neuroterus numismalis. It could also be a mix of both. |
