I saw this today - predominantly beech, with some oak, birch. It was on its' own and I initially thought it was a Panthercap but now I've had a look in the book think it might be Amanita rubescens var. annulosulphurea - you can just make out the top of the stipe is yellow, aplogies for the photo quality.

Also, same wood - on beech I toyed with Chicken or Hen of the Woods when I first saw it but don't think it is either of those now.

and this one - at the base of a well dead tree, thought this might be Hen of the Woods too.....

and this - same wood.

and are these Beech Woodwort?

and finally - is this a Tawny Grisette?

Hi Bluebell.

Looks like Shaggy Inkcap or sometimes known as Lawyer's Wig. Great photos.

Ok Grayling :cool2:

Agreed on Beech Woodwort and they go this black colouration with age and go to a powdery dust when crushed.

The last one is either Amanita fulva or Amanita croceus but i can't tell which Grayling. Are those beech leaves i can see on the ground?.

Sorry Dave I can't remember - it might actually have been a pine but there are beech trees in the local. Don't worry too much about that one I think I can get another shot of the tree when I go there next time and I regularly see that fungi so hopefully will get some better photos.

The previous yellow one I think is the one that stained my fingers - I was shocked to see my fingers yellow and spent ages scrubbing them with the wipes - annoyingly I had some latex gloves with me that I hadn't put on - I've since heard a programme on the radio that some fungi species poisons can be absorbed through the skin :scream: - but I'm still here :grin:

Phwww! that's good to hear Grayling! there are a few that can do that but i believe that it is extremely rare for this to happen...but always best to err on the side of safety.

The following are photos of some fungi I saw whilst walking along a canal towpath on Sunday. There was a mixed hedgerow along the towpath although in parts it was mainly willow but not so much willow where I saw most of the fungi.

No. 1 - top and underside

No. 2 - top and underside on same photo

No. 3 - top and underside

No. 3 - top and underside. This was on its own and I didn't see any more like it at all.

No. 4 - top and underside

No. 5 - I think this one might be yellow brain fungi.

This is another one I found on the towpath. I apologise if some that I have put on are really the same kind of fungi but to me they looked different.

No. 6 - top and underside
