Here's a really pretty little clump of fungi spotted in the woods whilst out to play with the Downlanders again - LINK - This is what we do ..... It is very dainty - striking red stalks - and it "bleeds" red when damaged . No particularly distinctive smell that I detected.... The woodland is mixed - a bit of everything and choked in laurel - which the Downlanders are working on trying to control . Any ideas ![]() ![]() fungi by Tatterling, on Flickr ![]() fungi cap close up by Tatterling, on Flickr ![]() fungi gills close up by Tatterling, on Flickr ![]() fungi red sap by Tatterling, on Flickr |

Hi Claire. 1 and 2 both look like Sulphur Tuft. 3. Won't be able to tell from the photo i'm afraid Claire but it might be Lactarius sp. 4 and 5 are both a bracket fungi of some kind. |

It's still tricky to spot fungi, even after all the years i have been looking Claire, but after a while, you do start to get your eye in and start understanding where to look for them. An example of this being Fly agaric, they tend to grow under silver birch and pine trees and waxcaps tend to grow on pasture and short-mown grassland, although there are always exceptions to these rules. |

Yes it's tricky to look out for fungi!! I will have to take a trip out to the forests more regularly and may join the fungi foray walks on the burrator reservoir on 10th to learn more about it!! Trying to get much as I can before going in for the op!! |

Fungi forays are a good way of picking up tips and they can be good fun as well. Hope all goes well with the op. |

I have a small book of fungi and in that it gives one called bleeding bonnet fungi as oozing red liquid and also there is another one called burgundy drop which I think both belong to the mycena group. |

Hi Hazel and Ame. Yes, it i likely to be Mycena sanguinolenta which bleeds when bruised. Hi Claire. I believe that rainfall can optimise the growth conditions for certain fungi but i don't think there is any scientific evidence to support this 100%, it may help release spores which will in turn produce more fungi. |

Thanks for that Dave. Had a walk in another small wood yesterday and found a couple of things. No. 1 - Are these common puffball ![]() No. 2 ![]() ![]() No. 3 ![]() I find it very difficult to get the photo showing the colour that I am actually seeing on the fungi. In photo number 2 it was not as dark a pink as shown. |
