Here's a few from the woods today...

Ancient semi-natural woodland situated on a patchwork of differing soils. Carpets of bluebells and patches of heather are found in the acidic areas; while orchids and other species are located in more alkaline areas, altogether providing a vibrant and varied display.

Hi Paula.

1. Russula type
2. Amanita type - The cap is still covered at this stage so hard to tell but it could be Fly agaric, this has white wart-like nodules.
3. Boletus type - Could be a Cep but would need photos of the pores.
4. Amanita rubescens - The Blusher
5. Amanita type - Could be Orange or Tawny Grisette but would need photos of gills and stem
6. Tricholomopsis rutilans - Plums and Custard
8. Amanita fulva - Tawny Grisette
9. Russula type

Thanks Jen and Dave :cool:

My ankle feels quite a bit better thanks but I seem to have pulled some muscles on my left side, my ribs feel a little sore but I shall keep moving as it'll only get stiff if I sit down......

What a wonderful selection of fungi, Paula. I am sorry taking the shots resulted in a nasty fall. Rest up and get better soon.

That's probably the best thing to do Paula, nothing worse than muscles seizing up.

:lovefungi: Dave i think i put this here either last year or the year before .. probably both :bag: :) These mushrooms are big and when they decay they're a dark brown mess . I've lots in the long grass beneath and around the Birch tree , so i'm guessing at Birch Bolete ?

They can be very common Jen but i always like seeing them, an unblemished specimen is a wonderful fungus to behold.

These aren't unblemished Dave , it looks as though something large keeps dropping on them :) .. there are indentations as big as a 10p piece ?

I'll look out for the younger ones :cool:

They can fruit throughout the late summer into autumn Jen so there should be plenty about to look out for.

Hi Brian.

Unfortunately they are too decayed to positively identify but you can see from the underneath on the last photo that the specimen has pores/tubes so this will make it a Boletus type. It is the closest that i can get i'm afraid.
