The latest batch: Agreed on Hoof fungus and Stump puffball The green staining is that of Green Elfcup ( would need the fruiting bodies to be eligible for the spotting challenge - the green staining is quite common but the fruiting bodies are less so) Not sure on the last one as yet. |

I'm a bit stumped on your first one Paula and i can't find a match anywhere. Maybe it could be down to it being very young and it may develop more characteristics. |

I've popped it on the Autumnwatch Fungi ID Flckr page Dave, there's a few Fungi experts on there who might be able to help us perhaps

That sounds like a good idea Paula. I might do the same with some of my Norfolk ones as well. |

Is this Hen of the Woods? Growing out from the top of an old stump in deciduous woodland - mainly beech with oak and some birch. Sorry, the underside photo is rubbish. |

Hi Mick. That is Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle Snuff Fungus) it can be highly variable, being more black at the base of the fruiting body and in some cases, like yours, all white throughout. |

Hi. I am afraid I have been out and about with the camera again and found some more fungi.![]() Is this one the jew/jelly ear fungi. ![]() this is all I found of this fungus it was beneath a canopy of deciduous trees. ![]() Is this fungi just getting old or is it always scrunched up like the photo, I have seen others before but didn't bother taking a photo as just thought I was something dying. ![]() I wondered if this belonged to the earthstar family. ![]() I took this one because it looked just wonderful standing there, I thought maybe a parasol of some kind. ![]() Are these one of the waxcap family. |

Julie - I wonder if number 1 is a deer shield - Pluteus cervinus - LINK we saw lots on our recent guided walk - the brownish top can be quite variable in colour but they always have a pale stem and they seemed to be everywhere! Naturezel - They look like jew/jelly ear to me. no. 3 the crinkly one, looks like white saddle / elfin saddle / common helvel (Helvella crispa). LINK |

I would agree with Ame on the Deer Shield fungi Julie. Also agreed with Helvella crispa and the Parasol fungi Hazel. Not sure on the Earthstar...will have to look that up. The last one could well be a Hygrocybe (Waxcap) and most likely Hygrocybe pratensis (Meadow Waxcap) which is classified as one of the orange/brown coloured waxcaps. There are a couple of others it might be and a photo of the gill structure and possibly a chemical test would be the only sure way of knowing. It might be worth going back, if you can, in a few days to see whether they have developed further. |

Fungi 2 Julie could be Hebeloma pusillus. |

The second fungi Hazel might be a Clavaria type but i can't get a closer match as yet. |
