Dave, a few fungi I would like an ID of please. (1) ![]() (2) ![]() (3) This was tiny and white on top. Not a brilliant photo, I couldn't get very close and it was quite dark where I saw it....I've lightened the photo a bit. ![]() (4) Again very difficult to get close to, it was at the base of a fallen tree and I couldn't get really close to it. IE take a photo looking up at ti inside. It looked wet/slimy. ![]() You can just see the white stalk. ![]() |

Hi Marg. 1. A type of Earthstar that hasn't fully emerged yet. 2. Tremella mesenterica - Witches Butter 3. Looks sessile so probably Variable Oysterling 4/5. Porcelain Fungus - Oudemansiella mucida. |

Pleasure, Marg. The Earthstar should start to form it's distinctive 'petal-like' arms over the next few days. |

Could you ID a few more fungi for me please Dave. ![]() (1) ![]() I saw quite a few of these in a Beech wood some were quite big....hence my size 8's by the side to show you. ![]() (2) ![]() ![]() (3) I was wondering if this was a Death Cap? if it is then it's a wood that I haven't seen one in before.....the same Beech wood as above. ![]() ![]() Is this a Saffron Milkcap? (4) ![]() ![]() No idea what this is (5) ![]() I think these are the same and were quite close to the othere.

Hi Marg. 1. Cortinarius type - I'll try and narrow it down later. 2. Lactarius blennius 3. Agreed, Death Cap. 4. Agreed, Saffron Milkcap 5. Possibly Fibrecap or Webcap sp and i'll look into it further. 6. Armillaria gallica |

Hi Claire. Looking at the 'tower-like stacking' i would say they were Inonotus radiatus (Alder Bracket) |

Number 1 Marg is a good candidate for Cortinarius delibutus. Sometimes the cap can range from a tan/brown to an ochre yellow colour. |

Hi Marg. I can't get an closer with number 5 at the moment but i know someone that should be able to as it looks an interesting possibility. |

Not sure about these. Possibly Inonotus radiatus ? About 40 to 50 mm across. Starting to look a bit 'knocked about'. S. Devon broad leafed wood, possibly on birch? ![]() ![]() ![]() Any thoughts? |

Hi Geoff. The irregular rounded or angular pores along with the deep brown ageing colour of the underside point towards Inonotus radiatus, also the fruitbodies are stacked (tiered) and quite often merge together (almost shown in the top tier of the fruitbodies in your photo). They are not specifically tied to just Alder and they can be found, although less commonly, on Silver Birch and less so again on Beech. I have never seen them on other hardwood tree species but apparently this can happen in some rarer cases. |

Thanks, Dave. There is a lot of alder in that wood so there might well be more of these fungi somewhere nearby. |

Always worth a look around Geoff. Probably one of the most attractive of our bracket fungi and especially when they show that peachy/apricot-coloured upper layer in mid summer. |
