How about Lycoperdon perlatum for this one.

Growing in soil on a damp shady part of the path at that reedbed site, yesterday. Plenty of willow, etc around and some oak nearby. Two of them and the better condition one had a definite short parallel stem.

Going back to yours Brian, the striations on the stripe could point them towards being Red-cracking Bolete but it is still a guess really.

I think this most likely to be Yellow Club Clavulinopsis helvola?

Growing through a mossy bank on the edge of Pamber Forest. Hazel, Oak and some Birch.

I've a few I'm struggling to ID. Firstly, is this Hare's Ear? It was in deciduous woodland.

Is this Coral Spot? Also in deciduous woodland.

At first glance I though this was Amethyst Deceiver, but the gill colour is wrong. In deciduous woodland, is it one of the Bonnets, which one if possible.

Posted Image


This is some kind of bracket, growing on what I think is a dead Ash stump.

Posted Image


The next 3 were on the same stump as the one above, the 1st 2 photos are different angles of the same group. I'm not sure if the 3rd photo is of the same species or a different one.

Finally, the last 2 are different angles of the some group, on a fallen trunk, that could be Ash, other trees nearby were Sycamore. It may be a different stage of the one above.

Hi John.

Yours is Common Puffball.

Hi Audrey.

1. Agreed on Hare's Ear
2. Is the start of Tremella mesenterica
3. Mycena haematopus - Burgundydrop Bonnet
4. Could be as numbers 5-9, especially with it being on Ash.
5,6 & 7. Inonotus hispidus - Shaggy Bracket
8 & 9. Could be older specimens of the above but they are likely too decayed to tell from a photo.

Thanks very much Dave, I've put some on the fungi photo challenge screening thread. Jenny, the drops are called guttations and form on some fungi during periods of rapid growth. Some of the more spectacular ones are the red ones on Hydnellum peckii - Devil's Tooth - which grow locally, see photo below.

Thanks Dave, I've two photos of another pair of fungi, could they be the start of Giant Puffball? They were each about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
