All from Monkswood - Broadleaf woodland, neutral grassland

The woodland of oak, ash and field maple trees has an understorey of hazel, blackthorn, dogwood and sallow. The rare wild service tree is frequent.

Hi Paula.

Some great fungi there.

2 & 6. Beefsteak Fungus
8. Looks like a Collybia type but i'll have to look closer at this one Paula.
7. I can't quite make out whether it has gills or pores....can you remember Paula?
5. Is probably the very early stages of Sulphur Tuft.

I'll go through the others as soon as i can Paula.

Hi Jen.

1. Bjerkandera adusta
2. Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle Snuff Fungi)

Nice finds.

Pleasure Jen and Paula.

Yes Jen, that is fine to use as a bracket fungi :cool2: that's frustrating as well Jen, especially if it took a time in the first place.

No worries Paula and i might be able to zoom in and see whether i can see pores or gills.

How would you like the sightings recorded on the fungi thread? like the photography challenges or just a record of our individual sightings Dave :thinking:

Probably just as your own individual sightings would be best Paula...you can post all your fungi photos on there and then we can add id's at a later date it not already identified. You can also add what site/reserve they were seen at and approx how many (count how many clumps if it is fungi such as Sulphur tuft or Honey fungus or if solitary species such as Tawny Grisette or Fly agaric for example).

Ok Paula :cool2:

Number 1 is a Boletus but i can't find a match with the pores and the only way to try and narrow it down would be to bruise the underside and check the colour. If you visit again and it is still there, it might just be worth trying.

Number 3 is a Postia sp.

Correction to post 1183 Paula.

The last photo is actually more likely to be very early forming Suillus variegatus.

Hi Mick.

1. Chlorophyllum (formerly Macrolepiota) rhacodes (Shaggy Parasol)
2. Inonotus radiatus (Alder Bracket)
3. Looks like the early stages of a Fibre cap with Inocybe griseolilacina being a possibility.
