Ok Tabatha.

Hi Jane.

Those are Xylaria hypoxylon (Candle Snuff Fungus) and that's also on the challenge.

Dave, I've searched through my books for this one, and the only one I can come up with is Lepiota ignivolvata (Agaricacea) - no common name for it. The only thing they didn't have was a smooth mid-brown centre ( that's how they're described in the book ) they were the same all over, and I couldn't see the orange band on the edge of the rings on the stem.
When I took the photo from above I took off that piece of dead moss....I think that's what it was.....my size 9's :lol: are next to them to give an idea of the size of the fungi.

Hi Marg.

Very interesting. The ring on the stem looks like it has been formed originally from a veil which could indicate an Amanita type and the rough textured stem could also point this way. Did you notice if there was a bulbous area around the stem? and a volva sac covering part of that bulbous stem? the volva sac looks like a very thin casing such as the ones on the link below.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=volva+sac&rlz=1C1CHFX_en-GBGB563GB563&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&nfpr=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI2oPV58-NyAIVSD0UCh37Ng4P#imgrc=_

:doh: Oh Dave, when will I learn, I didn't think to look at that part.

I'm going to have to make notes of what to look for and take those notes with me. I can pop up there again and I know where I saw them....I think!! :think: Whether there will still be any signs of them now though is another thing. There are at least 8 horses up there, so I hope they don't tread on them. They get in all of the wooded, bracken part, as well as out on the grassed area up there....lovely horses though. :grin:

Thanks Dave for the Ganoderma australe ID.

I've managed to get myself really confused about these "sticky up" types :confused: Clavulinopsis, Stag's Horn, Candle Snuff?

and I'm pretty sure this is Cauliflower Fungus but thought 'd better double-check - base of a large pine tree.

Hi Grayling.

I'll check on the first two but the last one is definitely Cauliflower Fungus (Sparassis crispa) quite readily found at the base of Corsican pines.

Thanks Dave :Cool:

I managed to get out for an hour this morning at Winkworth Arboretum and it was lovely to see the Cauliflower Fungus, it was huge and thankfully no one had kicked it in, which is normally how I find fungi like that have been treated :impatient:

We've found that a lot on our walks as well Grayling...very annoying.

Hi Jane.

1. Is either Lactarius detterimus or Lactarius deliciosus, (Milkcaps) both can turn green on bruising but L.detterimus tends to have it gills bruised as well.

2. Not The Prince i'm afraid but it is an Agaricus type.

3. Could be Chanterelle or possibly an old Lactarius type. I'll look further.
