HI Carl,
can you see if there are gills or pores on the underside please? A mirror placed strategically will enable you to get a photo :grin: It always helps for id of fungi if you can show the underside as well.
Or is it a spherical fruiting body like a puffball. If it is spherical it is almost certainly a Rhizopogon species.

Will have another look tomorrow.

I wasnt sure if it would have been poisonous to touch but as far as I could see they were full "globe" with no underside :cwl: (not sure if thats the technical term)

I am not sure if this is Turkeytail Fungus because the plants are small and they don't look exactly like the ones in the picture provided for the autumn challenge. They're definitely on oak wood, though. Can someone help me with an ID, please? :thanx:

:hello1: I went on a mushroom/fungi hunt this afternoon and came back with quite a few interesting ones. Since I know next to nothing about the subject I might need some help in identifying them. Here is the first batch:

1. Common Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)
2. Lactarius mitissimus, possibly?
3. Russula emetica, possibly? This one had a very short, white stem.
4. Russula species, possibly? This one had a longer stem and a concave cap.
5. No idea what this flat-capped individual is but he had been chewed quite a bit.

Thanks for any help you can give me. :grin:

:hello1: Chris

As far as i can work out i think your top three are all correct but i'm unsure on the last two.Judy will probably be able to throw some more light on these.
