      Yes please, as much as possible! It will take months for search rankings to get anywhere near WAB, without lots of links etc.

        2) Keyed it as Psathyrella, but realise will probably get no further than that. Spores average 9.1 x 5.4µm

        3) got to #82 in key G of FN, the pileipelis was complex, and couldn’t really see clear structure, like a tomentum, definitely not a cutis. For the key it could be Galerina, Simocybe or Tubaria or I may have missed something!

        [EDIT] after adjusting my condenser, I can see a germ pore, which is now taking me to Agrocybe.

            Welcome John :D It was thanks to the efforts and encouragement of Lancashire Lad (Mike Valentine) that we have so many familiar people, as well as some new well known names who weren’t on WAB. We have two admins, me and Mike, so we can both make manual backups as well as the automatic one. This should avoid the fate of WAB happening here. While hacking is always a possibility, restoring from a backup can be done within a few hours. I will also keep the system patched and updated, to lower the risk of known exploits being used.

              Thanks for a really entertaining talk, Nigel. I was walking yesterday and was inspired to look for old decaying weeds to bring home, much to the chagrin of the other half, who only wants to look for “proper fungi” :D

                Quite right, didn’t realise it was so comprehensive. Also covers fungi parasitic on rust! What a diverse kingdom!

                  Added, except for Ellis & Ellis, which I think is ascomycetes only(?)

                        It was growing next to a fallen tree (sycamore I think) that was covered in Dryad’s Saddle. This was in a marshy area by a stream.

                        If you click on help, troubleshooting, and refresh Firefox, it should sort the issue. I believe Firefox is still caching the corrupted files, as it has no problem seeing new ones.

                          Hi Mike,

                          I’m a bit concerned about posting photos on this site as all the ‘file size reduction ‘ ideas are a bit much for me! Everyone may have to put up with me posting link to my iSpot posts as photo file size doesn’t seem to be an issue (so far!)

                          Mark

                          External images are fine :) , but I must say I find the image upload facility on this site much easier than the one on WAB. Some sites, eg Facebook, reduce the file size when you upload, but it is good practice to upload files of a reasonable size anyway as a typical camera image might be 3500 x 2500px and will not fit on any PC or laptop screen I’ve seen without someone reducing the size, even if the website does it for you. Full HD (1080p) is only 1920 x 1080px.

                          It also takes a 10x as long to upload a few 3MB files than a few 300k files :P

                            If you follow this link, are the images still scrambled?

                            What browser are you using? Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox etc? Is it an up to date version?

                            Can you see the image below?

                                  Thanks Jenny. Now fixed. For the geeks, it was because I moved the site from fungi.org.uk/forum to fungi.org.uk and used FileZilla to do this. Because phpbb stores images in a special hashed format and Filezilla sees them as ascii, they get corrupted during the transfer. So I had to copy the files a different way.
