Dave :hello1: I've just found this really good site for IDs and info ... you might have already given it to us ?

http://www.mushroomdiary.co.uk/

I was looking for more mauve /lilac/purple mushrooms because my latest ? Amethyst deceiver is ragged . I wondered if it was a different species or just old .. though it does still have a bright colour :paul: It's this one

I have been thinking about the fungi you asked about as to if it was fibrous or smooth, I think that the best that I can say is that I think of it as robust in that when I picked up the one to turn over it didn't disintegrate in my fingers and felt quite firm. I hope this is of some help.

A few from the weekend

I think this is Common Inkcap?

Soft Puffballs? Found at the base of a beech tree

Posted Image

Is this something other then Turkeytail?

Posted Image

I wonder if this is White Brain?

Posted Image

This is the one I put on the Autumn Challenge but managed to get better (marginally) photos. Growing in clumps in mixed woodland, beech, hazel, pine, oak and I wonder if it is Wrinkled Club?

Now this one had me stumped - same woodland on rotting wood and was the most beutiful orangy colour but I've had a brain wave and think it might be late stage Wrinkled Peach?

And this one I found last week on a twig of silver birch - some kind of slime mould?

Ok Eddie.

Looks like you ahve found some excellent fungi there Grayling. I'll check my field guides shortly.

I will agree with Wrinkled Peach (Rhodotus palmatus) and it really is a beautiful fungi, quite scarce as well now as it solely relies on dead elm to form.

Thank you very much Dave :thankyou:

I don't think there is any Elm at Blashford now, can't remember seeing any but these were on well rotted felled trees so it could very well be old Elm. I think I'll e-mail Blashford to see what they can tell me.

I've never seen it before and it really is beautiful, even at this stage :yes:

That's a good idea Grayling.

I have found some documentation that it can also grow on other broadleaf wood but very rarely so and a couple of my guides suggest it doesn't so it is worth mentioning. The information could be a little suspect but any test they can carry out to substantiate a substrate other than Elm would be very useful to know.
