I have cross-checked it's distribution Paula and it is listed as a rare species in some literature and uncommon in others. The NBN gateway does list over 60 sites for this fungi. Whereabouts did you see this one Paula? |

I did Paula, sorry, i should have been more specific. I have been doing more research and i cannot find anything to suggest it wouldn't be Amanita echinocephala. There are a couple of sites around the area you were in Paula, and from all the references i have studied, my thoughts are that it is indeed Amanita echinocephala...a great find and one for the fungi challenge

Found this odd looking fungus at the base of one of my beech trees, a type of dead man's fingers perhaps ? ![]()

Hi Paula. 1. Inonotus type but it might be tricky to narrow down. I was thinking Inonotus radiatus, was it solitary or part of a tier? 4. Gills look decurrent and it may point to it being a Clitocybe. 5. This one appears to have evidence of a ring on the stipe so i'll check out the possibles. |

A very interesting one Malcolm. It is a Ramaria (Club) type fungi. The key to this is it's mycorrhizal association with certain trees, Beech being the key here and therefore should point to Ramaria stricta. This can go straight onto the fungi challenge Malcolm. |

Thanks for all the info Dave, very interesting. We've been here a long time and this is the first I've seen and it is only round one tree, I hope that is not an ill omen for the tree ![]() I've looked it up in Wikipedia where it says the spore print is yellow, I suppose it must have spores being a fungus ! but it seems an odd shaped thing to do a print from ! However, we shall see, I have harvested a small clump which is now on a piece of paper in the spare bedroom :) Ps. done on the challenge. |

Cheers Malcolm. Spore print is indeed yellow (Hyaline and yellow in mass) |

Photo 2 in your last batch Paula look like a well developed Mycena type and in photo 3 i would say a variation on Piptoporus betulinus. |
