Honey Fungus (+PiP)

nobody@ipernity.com (Keith Burton) — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 17:08:37 +0000

I found this huge batch on Honey Fungus on an old tree stump in Sir George Staunton Country Park, Hampshire.

I'm pretty sure I have the ID right..........but please let me know if you think otherwise.

The view of the other side of the stump is in the PiP.

I found these lovely fungi at the base of a tree in Sir George Staunton Country Park during a walk last week.

They are called Shaggy Scalycap (Pholiota squarrosa).

Check out the PiP for another batch from the other side of the tree.

Pine Cone with Mushroom Lodgers

We grow flowers in large pots in our front garden and we collect pine cones to put on the surface of the soil to deter slugs and snails from getting to the plants. They help to keep the soil moist in the summer as well.

We found this pine cone with tiny mushrooms growing in it in one of the pots, something I've never seen before. I took it out of the pot and put in on the grass to take a photo and then returned it.

All these photos were taken today, 29th October 2023

SC69 – Seasons

The photos of fungi were taken at Attingham Park, and the flower photos were taken in our garden. At one point there were 4 Red Admirals basking in the warm autumn sunshine in the garden. By the time I got the camera only 2 remained on the dahlias. The seasons are getting mixed up because of climate change I think.

This fungus resembled a Christmas Rose when I first spotted it.

Stansted Forest Fungi (+ PiPs)

The second batch of fungi shots from Stansted Forest. These are Fly Agaric and I haven't seen one for a couple of years, so I was quite pleased to find some this time.

There is another Fly Agaric in PiP No.1 and in PiP No.2 features what I think is Orange Jelly Fungus.

Please shout if you think I have any of these IDs wrong :-)

Try viewing large, on black.

A friend and I spent a few hours crawling around in Stansted Forest on a fungi hunt. We found quite a few, here are the first three.

Identifying fungi is notoriously difficult, and I can't find an ID for this one. I'd be grateful if anyone knows.

PiP No.1 is a Common Puffball.
PiP No.2 is a Porcelain Mushroom (I think).

........I think?! This was the largest of many - larger than a tennis ball. The fly was large too - not seen one with legs this long before - approx 4cm in length.
